Forgotten Victims of Moplah Genocide :  From Namboothiri Brahmins to Thiyya Community

Must Read

What Caste clashes? We’re in a civilizational warfare and our enemy is common. 

“This tendency of moving on has been a typical hindu phenomenon, especially among the brahmins. They don’t get stuck in a quagmire ; they build an alternative universe and try to restart a new life. Which is not a bad thing for self sustenance. Moving on may be good, but forgetting is not. After all, as the saying goes – those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it. 

It is this tendency to move on and restart life silently that has ensured the atrocities against Brahmins remain the least – known phenomenon. Even the organized killings of Brahmins, especially in Maharashtra and its suburbs, after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, are confined to the realm of whispers and whisperers.”

This blunt reality is expressed in the book Bharat Rising — written by journalist Utpal Kumar — although this particular approach isn’t solely confined to Brahmins but to the entire Hindu community, sadly. In the present scenario, the former are busy in making their careers by preparing for government jobs to ‘serve the society’ considering the so called ‘center approach’ —  of not accepting facts pertaining to the atrocities on Hindus —- as the final truth, the latter ones have been lured for some rice bags (for almost a century) and showcased their support to the Islamic – evangelical forces in some way or another by completely forgetting how their respective ancestors had given their lives to protect Dharma.

Genocide of memory has been perpetrated with high perseverance by neo – marxist distorians for almost a century hence one can’t react flabbergasted when Gen Zs – whether they belong to any caste – remain oblivious of these blood – soaked tragedies of Hindus. But in the era of ‘gentle reminders’ certain harsh reminders seem substantial. Moplah Genocide of Malabar Hindus is one of them!

Actually, the term Moplah is the incorrect pronunciation of a Malayalam word, Mappilla, which means son-in-law. In the 8th – 9th Century, Kerala Malabar coast had trade & commercial links with Arabs, and as a consequence these radicals started marrying Hindu women, hence they were termed as mappila. This persistent interaction with Arabs consequently led to forcible conversion of Malabar Hindus in Islam. Since then the conversion game has taken place in this region at a slow pace. By the 18th & 19th century, these moplas were mostly concentrated in the Malabar region of Kerala.

While Bharat was under colonial trap, one of the Bhure Sahab — although he always demonstrated himself as a ‘Swadeshi Man’ ; ‘pioneer’ of the Swadeshi movement —  Mr. Gandhi had taken the responsibility to ‘free India from the clutches of Britishers’. (that’s how his role is delineated in NCERT & state board books… biggest misinterpretation of all times). 

Amidst the struggle for political independence of India —- as the cultural independence attained only in the last decade although a lot has to be achieved —-   World War I has been ended, the Ottoman Empire disintegrated, and the authority of the Ottoman Sultan, who was also the Caliph of Islam, was nullified. To restore the Caliph’s authority and re-establish Islamic rule in Turkey, Indian Muslims initiated the Khilafat Movement 1920. Upon the movement’s inception, Mr. Gandhi appealed to Hindus to stand in solidarity with their Muslim brother and support the struggle to restore the Caliphate in Turkey. Gandhi, in his utter folly, believed this would foster a sense of unity between Hindus and Muslims. 

In pursuit of this goal, Gandhi established Khilafat Committees across the country in the year 1920. These committees aimed to promote political cohesion among Muslims and organize protests to exert pressure on a national scale for the restoration of the Caliphate in Turkey. Amidst this, in the same year an annual Congress session was organized in Nagpur, which was attended by Arya Samaj’s Swami Shraddhanand and Gandhi. During this session, the discussions and assertions made by certain maulavis in the name of khilafat movement strucked Swami Shraddhanand as sinister and gruesome. Swami Shraddhanand later penned an account in the Liberator magazine, where he articulated the grave concerns he perceived at the time. 

At the same time, Punjab’s Allah Baksh came to Kerala’s Malaba for the same purpose. For hindu – Muslim Unity, his chariot of horses was being pulled by Hindus. Money was collected from Hindus for this Khilafat Movement. Other leaders like Ali Musliyar, Varriyam Kunnath Kunjahammad Haji etc. gathered many Muslim men who fought for Britishers in WW-I and other new Muslim men too and made an army for Khilafat Movement. On 22nd August, 1921, Malabar was declared a Islamic Law Sharia region. Whatever happens after this can be found in BR Ambedkar’s book ‘Pakistan or Partition of India’ –  “The Moplas were suddenly carried off their feet by this agitation…… The aim was to establish the kingdom of Islam by overthrowing the British Government. Knives, swords and spears were secretly manufactured, bands of desperadoes collected for an attack on British authority. On 20th August a severe encounter took place between the Moplas and the British forces at Pirunangdi. Roads were blocked, telegraph lines cut, and the railway destroyed in a number of places. As soon as the administration had been paralysed, the Moplas declared that Swaraj had been established. Suddenly, Ali Musaliar became proclaimed Raja, Khilafat flags were flown and Ernad and Wal- luranad were declared Khilafat Kingdoms. As a rebellion against the British Government it was quite understandable. But what baffled most was the treatment accorded by the Moplas to the Hindus of Malabar. The Hindus were visited by a dire fate at the hands of the Moplas. Massacres, forcible conversions, desecration of temples, foul outrages upon women, such as ripping open pregnant women, pillage, arson and destruction-in short, all the accompaniments of brutal and unrestrained barbarism, were perpetrated freely by the Moplas upon the Hindus until such time as troops could be hurried to the task of restoring order through a difficult and extensive tract of the country. ..…….The number of Hindus who were killed, wounded or converted, is not known. But the number must have been enormous.”

As per a news report “according to widely believed numbers, officially, over 10,000 Hindus were slaughtered by Muslim fanatics. The unofficial numbers, likely far more accurate, are much higher. For approx 5 months, various regions of Malabar were ruled by Islamic state of Law and went through heinous atrocities. Most accounts are watered down by Left historians to claim that it was an agrarian uprising or that it was the labourers who rose up against the zamindars. They explain the Moplah genocide of Hindus citing that the labourers were Muslim and the zamindars were Hindu.” (Source : OpIndia report). 

Indian reporters don’t spare any chance to whitewash the atrocities faced by Hindus.The man who played the substantial role to wage a war of Jihad against ‘kafir’ Hindus in Malabar —  Varriyam Kunnath Kumjahmmad Haji — was termed as a freedom fighter by The Indian Express.

Isn’t it strange that while we’ve been engaging ourselves in caste – discrimination debates for a century — thanks to leftist lobby for their atrocity and anti hindu literature (and not anti – brahman literature) —- the other party treats every hindu as a kaafir. The perfect example is Malabar genocide where a Nambudri brahman to Thiyya man all got the equal treatment from the so called ‘minority’ of this country.

Influential figures like Gandhi not only misleads the Indian or Hindu Minds by promoting brotherhood feeling for those who consider Hindus as kafirs, but also creates a guilt trap in the same community by highlighting the evils of Hindu Civilization — that doesn’t exist in the original hindu holy scriptures unlike holy books of other religions. This Gandhian approach is eventually leading us to our own deathbed. Sita Ram Goel rightly identified Gandhi’s nature in his book Hindu Temples Vis a Vis Islam — 

Hindus will do well to learn from the experience of Mahatma Gandhi. He spent a life-time in singing hymns of praise to the “noble faith of Islam”, and extolling the Qu’ran and the Prophet. He champi- oned the cause of Khilafat as dearer than that of the freedom for India. He believed sincerely that the only solution of the “communal prob- lem” in India was to concede to the Muslims whatever they demanded. And yet he was regarded by a majority of the Muslims as the “greatest enemy of Islam”, and abused as such in the foulest language by the Urdu press. He lived to see the holocaust of Partition caused by Islam…… .”

This Gandhian approach of appeasing and cooperating will get hindus in the same place where Gandhi had been once that is ‘greatest enemy of Islam’. The decision is yours, where you want to stand as one can sense the escalating menace of maintaining the civilizational identity. This is just one page of our blood soaked history where thousands and thousands of Hindu men, women and children were subjected to solely hatred, more specifically the hatred towards kaafir. 

Do we really want to discuss and engage in the caste clashes or should we vehemently work towards fighting the ongoing civilizational warfare in which we’re the target audience! The choice is yours.
