“This tendency to move 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 bad 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 organised 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 is busy making their careers by preparing for government jobs to ‘serve the society’ considering the so-called ‘centre approach’ — of not accepting facts about 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-Mistarchist 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. The Moplah Genocide of Malabar Hindus is one of them!
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 Mappila. This persistent interaction with Arabs consequently led to the forcible conversion of Malabar Hindus into Islam. Since then, the conversion game has slowly taken place in this region. By the 18th & 19th centuries, these moplas were mostly concentrated in the Malabar region of Kerala.
While Bharat was under the colonial trap, one of the Bhure Sahab — although he always demonstrated himself as a ‘Swadeshi Man’, a ‘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… the biggest misinterpretation of all times).
Amidst the struggle for the 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 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 in 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.
Gandhi established Khilafat Committees across the country in 1920 to pursue this goal. These committees aimed to promote political cohesion among Muslims and organise protests to exert national pressure to restore the Caliphate in Turkey. Amidst this, in the same year, an annual Congress session was organised in Nagpur, attended by Arya Samaj’s Swami Shraddhanand and Gandhi. During this session, the discussions and assertions made by certain maulvis in the name of the Khilafat movement struck 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 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 the Britishers in WW-I and other new Muslim men too and made an army for Khilafat Movement. Malabar was declared an Islamic Law Sharia region on August 22, 1921. 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, and bands of desperadoes were collected for an attack on British authority. On August 20, 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 several places. As soon as the administration had been paralysed, the Moplas declared that Swaraj had been established. Suddenly, Ali Musaliar 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 approximately 5 months, various regions of Malabar were ruled by the Islamic State of Law and went through heinous atrocities. Left historians water down most accounts to claim that it was an agrarian uprising or that it was the labourers who rose 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 a substantial role in waging a war of Jihad against ‘kafir’ Hindus in Malabar — Varriyam Kunnath Kumjahmmad Haji — was termed 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 the Malabar genocide, where Namboothiri Brahman and Thiyya men all got equal treatment from the so-called ‘minority’ of this country.
Influential figures like Gandhi not only misled the Indian or Hindu Minds by promoting brotherhood feeling for those who consider Hindus as kafirs, but also created a guilt trap in the same community by highlighting the evils of Hindu Civilization — that didn’t exist in the original Hindu holy scriptures, unlike holy books of other religions. This Gandhian approach eventually leads us to our 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 problem” 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, which is the ‘greatest enemy of Islam’. The decision is yours, where you want to stand as one can sense the escalating menace of maintaining the civilisational 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 want to discuss and engage in the caste clashes, or should we vehemently work towards fighting the ongoing civilisational warfare in which we’re the target audience?
