| | Moplah Rebellion, Part II: Hindus killed in Kerala |
 | | After all, the Moplahs of Malabar did not need any Pakistani inspiration when they launched into the terrible riots of 1921 (the Moplah Rebellion) when they, without provocation, murdered, raped, and forcibly converted thousands of Hindus, just because distant Turkey had abolished the Caliphate. |
 | | Muslims came as sailors, married local women and stayed on: the very word 'Moplah' means 'son-in-law.' The Zamorin of Calicut had Muslims in his navy, including the famous commander Kunjali Marikkar. |
 | | Hindus were expendable in Malabar during the Moplah Rebellion, part I; they were expendable in Hyderabad when Razakars (armed Muslim men) went on the warpath around the time of Partition. |
