..one of the survived man, hid his remaining few women including my granny in a secret house for few days and later smuggled them to safety to central Kerala. Today, these families are settled in Ponnani, Ottapalam & N Parur. #MalabarMassacre
.. one of the families from it later came to be named after the incident thus bearing a house name in malayalam "Kozhikott Akathittaveettil" roughly translated as "The family who were hidden in a house in Calicut"
