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.

You can't declare that you changed religion! Censors asked Ali Akbar to remove his new name after Ghar Wapsi to Ramasimhan!! #Kerala is on a dangerous path. This happened under an alleged irreligious Communist regime! 🤨
Is it a punishment for Ali Akbar for daring to go back to his ancestral religion and become Ramasimhan??
Kerala film director Ali Akbar reveals he was victim of sexual abuse at madrasa. After 40 years he opened his mouth to narrate the horrible abuse he had to suffer at the Madrassa after he confided in one Kerala journalist Rajeena. Both being threatened now.
All this he revealed about five years back and when asked about speaking now, he said because of the fear from his religion, he could not muster courage to speak earlier. He also revealed that many of his friends spoke to him to have suffered similar abuses in Madrasas.
