Basavakalyan in Bidar district, historically called Kalyani or Kalyana, had served as the royal capital of the Kalyani Chalukyas and the Kalachuris
Today’s Basavakalyan in Bidar district, which was historically called Kalyani (Kalyana) and had served as the royal capital of Kalyani Chalukyas and Kalachuris, has had a special place in the history of India for its intense socio-political activities in the 12th Century that later came to be known as Vachana Kranti or Kalyana Kranti, a mass movement led by Basaveshwara and other Sharanas against caste-based oppression and gender-based discrimination.
