Everything about Tupac Katari totally explained
Tupac Katari (c.
1750 –
15 November 1781), born
Julián Apasa, was a leader in the rebellions of
indigenous people in
Bolivia in the early 1780s.
A member of the
Aymara, Apasa took the name "Tupac Katari" to honor two rebel leaders:
Tomás Katari, and
Tupac Amaru II. He raised army of some 40,000 and laid siege to the city of
La Paz in
1781. Katari' and his wife,
Bartolina Sisa set up court in
El Alto and maintained the siege for 184 days, from March to June and from August to October. Sisa was a commander of the siege, and played the crucial rule following Katari's capture in April. The siege was broken by colonial troops who advanced from
Lima and
Buenos Aires.
Katari laid siege again later in the year, this time joined by
Andrés Túpac Amaru, nephew of Tupac Amaru II. But Katari was again unsuccessful.
Despite his subsequent betrayal, defeat, torture, and execution (torn by his extremities into four pieces), Túpac Katari is remembered as a hero by modern indigenous movements in Bolivia, who call themselves
Katarismo. A Bolivian guerrilla group, the
Tupac Katari Guerrilla Army, also bears his name.
