Socio-Political Awerness in Gulbarga (1936-1948)

Gulbarga district is located in the northeastern part of Karnataka. On the northwest, for a short stretch, the district shares its border with Sholapur and Osmanabad districts of Maharshatra and on the east it is surrounded by Medak and Mahaboobnagar districts of Andhra Pradesh. On the other three sides, the district is surrounded by the territories belonging to Karnataka State itself viz., Bidar district in the north, Raichur district on the south and Bijapur district on the west. It is only in the south that the district has a natural boundary in the form of the mighty Krishna River, which runs east by northeastern course. On the western sector, for a short distance the Bhima divides the lands belonging to the districts and Bijapur and forms the natural boundary between two districts.
