Topic: Moplah rebellion


  
  esamskriti- Mooplah Rebellion
The main brunt of the Moplah ferocity was borne, not by the govt but by the Hindus were constituted the majority of the population.
It is ridiculous to maintain that the Moplah rebellion was not due to the Khilafat or Non-cooperation movements in view of the Khilafat meetings that endorsed the Karachi resolution, proclamation of Khilafat kingdom, flags.
When the Moplahs have left their houses, property and belongings, taken refuge in hills and jungles, it is unfair to characterize as plunder their commandeering of money and other necessaries for their troops from the English or their supporters”.

The immensity of the Kol rebellion could he gauged from the fact that troops had to be rushed from far off places like Calcutta, Danapur and Benaras to quell it.

 The Malabar Campaign (Moplah Rebellion) - The Keep Military Museum, Dorchester, Dorset
The Moplah Rebellion, which took place in Malabar during 1921, was a conflict rooted in religious revivalism among the Muslim Moplahs.
Moplah ambushes were a feature of this period of the campaign but when taking on the Dorsets, invariably came off worse.
Its casualties consisted of an officer and 9 men killed and an officer and 15 men wounded, was, considering the difficulties of the country, the determination and fierceness of the opposition and the numbers to be faced, remarkably light.

 Moplah rebellion Information
The Moplah rebellion was a British-Muslim and Hindu-Muslim conflict in Kerala that occurred in 1921.
According to one view, the Moplah Rebellion was a result of dissatisfaction of Muslim Moplahs with the land-owning Hindu Nair community and the British administration that inevitably supported the latter.
The reduction of the Moplah rebellion to only a farmers v/s landlords issue is a leftist/communist interpretation of history that gives every human conflict the colour of a class struggle -- oppressed peasants and workers revolting against the parasitic landlords and industrialists -- while refusing to recognize any other motive like religion, ethnicity or racialism.

  History of India
The turbulent history of the Moplahs of Malabar reveals yet another facet of the complexities of the Indian situation - the way in which religious fanatics has served as the outward form for the expression of anti landlord and anti-foreign discontent.
The Moplah outbreaks were thus a peculiar form of rural terrorism which was probably the most effective means of curbing the enhanced power of the jenmi, for the earthly benefit of Moplahs who themselves did not become participants.
The roots of Moplah discontent were clearly agrarian - there was a 244% increase in rent suits and a 441% increase in eviction decrees between 1862 and l880 in the talukas of south Malabar.

 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.

Contrast the rapid arrests of rebel leaders in Moplah and Cyprus to the failure to arrest the Grand Mufti, during the 1936 insurrection in Palestine.
In less serious cases, where armed rebellion is not encountered but disorder is of the nature of riots, communal or anti-Government, which have passed out of civil control, there is the same necessity for firmness but an even greater necessity for estimating correctly the degree of force required.
When armed rebellion is encountered, the only limitations to their use, as I have said, are those imposed by the nature of the terrain and the characteristics of the enemy.

 Procrastination: The End of the Ottoman Empire
It was also tarnished by the Muslim Moplah rebellion in South India in 1921, the fanatic excesses of which deeply stirred Hindu India.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Mopillah rebellion in Kerala have to do with the demise of the Ottoman Empire (naturally it also had to do with the class dynamics of Keralan society where the Syrian Christians and Hindus-two sects in particular- dominated the population to the ire of the Muslim peasants).
The Khilafat movement and Moplah rebellion (sic) need to be seen in proper perspective and not glorified to wish away the warts that grew on the glowing face of Indian Freedom Movement.

The well-known Moplah revolts are said to have begun with the murder of a Nair landlord after he ripped off the blouse of an Ezhava (low-caste) woman convert, who had dared to appear before him clothed above the waist, stood within 30 yards of him and called him by his name.
The revolts were mostly a series of attempts to take over land by groups of armed Muslim tenants or suicidal attacks on landlords known for their atrocities, culminating in the 1921-22 Moplah Rebellion which aimed at setting up an "Islamic" state.
Thus even the militant (and sometimes reactionary) Islam of the Moplah Muslims had its roots in their struggles against the stranglehold of the Hindu upper-caste landlords and the British.

 Moplah Rebellion, Part II: Hindus massacred on Maraad Beach
Islam first came to India -- and that too, peacefully -- to Kerala, where the first mosque in India, the Cheraman mosque, apparently built in the 7th or 8th century CE, stands at the great old port of Kodungalloor (the Roman Muziris).
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.
Otherwise, these poor Hindus of Maraad would have died in vain, butchered in front of their place of worship.

Be the Moplahs be ever so bad, they deserve to be treated as human beings.' By saying all this, Mahatma Gandhi broke the track record of Babar, Nadir Shah and Aurangazib in the never ending vistas of Islamic compassion and Hindu fundamentalism.
