The Malabar Rebellion: The 1921 Anti British Uprising in Northern Kerala
The Malabar Rebellion, an Audible original produced by Asiaville, recaptures the dizzying six months from August 1921 when the Muslim peasants of the southern districts of the then Madras Presidency (now northern Kerala) rose up against their oppressive British colonial rulers and feudal landlords. The rollercoaster saga of their daunting struggle, sacrifice and martyrdom continues to fire the popular imagination and kindle keen debate. Scripted by K.P. Sethunath, narrated and directed by Sashi Kumar, the podcast rolls to the beat of the inspiring verse on the uprising penned by Kerala’s dear poet-lyricist, P. Bhaskaran.
