'''Hubbashika''' (also spelled '''Hubashika''') was a [[Koraga people|Koraga]] chieftain who ruled coastal areas of [[Karnataka]] and [[Kerala]] for 12 years during the 15th Century CE.<br />
<br />
==Period==<br />
Hubbashika invaded coastal areas of Karnataka when [[Lokadiraya]] was ruling at Banavasi. The first historian of Mysore, Colonel [[Mark Wilks]] (1759–1831) suggested that the date of Lokidiraya was 1450 CE.<ref name=castes>{{cite book |title=Castes and Tribes of Southern India |first1=Edgar |last1=Thurston |authorlink = Edgar Thurston|first2=K. |last2=Rangachari |year=1909 |volume=III (K) |pages=[https://archive.org/details/castestribesofso03thuriala/page/425 425]–428 |location=Madras |publisher=Government Press |url=https://archive.org/details/castestribesofso03thuriala |accessdate=9 August 2012}}</ref><br />

==Place==<br />
Hubbashika ruled from a place above the Western Ghats (present day [[Malenadu]]) and mobilised an army from this area<ref name=castes/> to invade coastal areas.<br />
<br />
==Heroics==<br />
Hubbashika was believed to have defeated king Mayuravarman and established a Koraga Kingdom; later Mayuravarman's nephew Lokadithya avenged the defeat in a battle fought near [[Manjeshwar]] when he defeated and drove Hubbashika and his people into the forests.<ref>{{cite book |title=Being tribal |first=Shereen |last=Ratnagar |publisher=Primus Books |location=Delhi |year=2010 |page=19 |isbn=978-93-8060-702-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tcTz54VVHF4C |accessdate=2012-06-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Tribes,Forest and Social formation in Indian History |first=B.B.Chaudhury |last=Arun Bandopadyay |publisher=Manohar |location=Delhi |year=2004 |page=224 |isbn=978-81-7304-551-6 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pHuAAAAAMAAJ&q=hubbashika |accessdate=2012-06-26}}</ref><br />

* There was some effort to find connection between "Habshis" or Abyssinians with Hubbashika, but could not be established due to lack of evidence.<ref name="mythic"/><br />
<br />
==End of Koraga kingdom==<br />
Hubbashika and his son were murdered during a wholesale massacre executed by rivals during a special dinner arranged in connection with marriage in the Royal family and the remaining members of royal family and their community were made slaves by law and driven into the forest.<ref name=castes/><br />
