1921 Malabar riots, Gandhi and a Malayalam Movie:
Malabar riots of 1921 often called the “Moplah rebellion” is a topic that was not discussed openly in Kerala until recently (“Moplah” is a term used to refer to Kerala Muslims)

Moplah riots have always been whitewashed by the Congress and the left historians as freedom struggle against the British. However, the reality is something else!

Any sensible society would know that reopening old wounds can only disturb the goodwill that exists in the society between various communities. Therefore, these riots were never a part of political discourse at least in the last 30-40 years.

Puzha Muthal Puzha Vare
Ramasimhan (Ali Akbar) presents "1921 Puzha Muthal Puzha Vare", a movie about the 1921 #Malabar riots. Let me make it clear. It's not a classic. It isn't poetry on celluloid. It isn't "The Kashmir Files" of Malayalam. It is a small movie with a big heart.

It was made with contributions from ordinary people. It is not a cinematic masterpiece. Its a mirror, broken mirror shown to the Historians who falsified history. It is a crude & clumsy slap on the face of politicians, who glorified religious terrorists as freedom fighters.
It could have been tighter and more painful. But looking at the way the Censor board troubled the Director in this form, a harsher one probably would never have seen the Cinema halls.
Recently, we asked you to guess the species through a riddle. Almost all of you were spot on! It is the Malabar banded peacock!

The Moplah Revolt of 1921.
What is revealed is how rapidly the All India #Congress retreated whenever the masses were in motion, and how in this case a strategic political retreat necessitated a communalist rather than class view of an important peasant (1/25)

The story of Cochin is not just about how an engineering marvel can change social fabric, but also of many tenets of #British #Colonialism in India which is often taken for granted, passed off lazily as exploitation, missing nuance (2)

In an 1898 report, Stokes also writes about his visits to upper-caste Nair and Nambudiri homes; he notes it was rare for them to come to the hospital, because "the majority would rather die than lose caste by coming into Hospital”
