Solapur's history stretches back to the Rashtrakuta and Chalukya dynasties. The city's Bhuikot Fort was built during the Bahmani Sultanate era in the 14th century and later controlled by the Adil Shahis of Bijapur. Solapur played a significant role in India's freedom struggle — in 1930, during the Civil Disobedience Movement, the city briefly seized control from the British in what became known as the Solapur Martial Law incident, and four freedom fighters (Mallappa Dhanshetti and others) were hanged, becoming revered martyrs. The textile industry has defined the city's economy for over a century.
