The Malabar Rebellion was in 1921
The attempted arrest of Vadakkeveetil
Muhammed, the Secretary of the Khilafat Committee
at Pukottur in Eranadu Taluk, led to a series of
violent clashes between the police and the
Mappilas in the Eranadu and Valluvanadu Taluks.
Variyankunnathu Kunjahammad Haji, Koya Tangal
and Ali Musaliyar were the famous leaders of the
revolt.
One of the tragic episodes of the rebellion was the
‘Wagon Tragedy’ in which 61 of 90 Mappilas carried
as prisoners in a closed railway goods wagon
from Tirur, to Coimbatore on November 10, 1921
died of suffocation.
