The uprising was against the British n its feudal supporters. The British had appointed high caste Hindus in positions of authority to get their support. They had facilitated the hassle-free British rule and any opposition to British was made out to be against their supporters.
There is no denying the fact that the Moplah rebellion was actually a peasant revolt against the colonial government. During the uprising, the rebels attacked various symbols and institutions of the colonial state, such as telegraph lines, train stations, courts and post offices.
while writing about #MalabarRebellion101 I came across MP Menon. He was called Malabar’s Abu Talib & Mapaila Menon due to His kindness and helping nature towards the Mapila tenants..

Narayana Menon was a man who displayed bravery in bringing the movement frm upper-class elite to the underprivileged ppl, he ws feared & despised nt only by the British bt also by som of the Ldrs of the freedom struggle, was shunned by thm fr his association with the lower class.
The British labeled Menon a "Confirmed criminal" a HONOR reserved for only few Freedom Fighters and sentenced him to 14 years in prison. He was imprisoned for twelve years as a result of his support for the Mapila Rebellion in Malabar in 1921. #MalabarRebellion101
