Isuru is the first village in the country to declare itself as independent in September 1942.The Martyrs Memorial Hall situated in the heart of the village. The memorial building was built in memory of five freedom fighters who were hanged to death by British. While the nation gained independence from British Raj on August 15, 1947, the people of Esuru declared their village as independent in 1942 itself. After Mahatma Gandhi launched the Quit India Movement on August 8, 1942 demanding an end to British rule of India, the villagers started peaceful movement. According to Gazetteer Of India from August 17, 1942, onwards, the villagers showed a great courage and defiance. Processions were carried out around the village everyday with slogans like 'do not pay taxes', 'cut down teak trees and wires,' 'burn the account books of gaudas and shanbhogues'. On September 25 when the village officer came for collection of assessment and preparation of pahani, their registers were seized by the village youths. The next day the villagers put up a sign board which declared that theirs was a freedom-village and a parallel government of youngsters was set up. The villagers say that on September 28, 1942, when Amaldar and inspector came to the village, the villagers insisted the officers to wear the Gandhi cap. During the duel, the villagers killed both the officers. The British seized the village and arrested the freedom fighters. Of them, Gurappa, Jinahalli Mallappa, Suryanarayanachar, Badakalli Halappa and Goudru Shankarappa were hanged in March 1943.
