  • Aura of Abdu Rahiman Sahib in Forming Community Consciousness and National Pride (Identity) (Among the Muslims) in Colonial Malabar
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 Radical, Progressive, Rationale: Aura of Abdu Rahiman Sahib in forming Community Consciousness and National Pride (Identity) (among the Muslims) in Colonial Malabar Dr. Muhammed Maheen A. Professor. Department of History University of Calicut, Kerala Abstract: The Khilafat movement which started as an international Muslim agitation against the sovereignty of the British colonial forces all over the world had its repercussions in India also, and its effects were felt among the Muslims of Malabar too. The Malabar Rebellion which started as a violent protest against the exploitation of the feudal landlords, who were mostly Hindus and the supporters of the British colonial rule, soon turned into a part of the freedom struggle and gathered momentum. But unfortunately due to the misguided directions of religions leadership what started as a struggle for freedom against oppression and exploitation soon deteriorated into the horrors of a series of communal conflicts. An examination of the Khilafat movement in Malabar would reveal that the Muslims of Malabar began to identify themselves as part of the National Muslim Community only by the dawn of the 20 th century. The political scenario of Malabar from 1920 to 1925 is specifically marked by the life and activities of Muhammed Abdurahiman. The present paper is an attempt to examine the political life of Abdurahiman. Keywords: Nationalism, Khilafat, Non-Cooperation, Simon commission, Mappila. I. INTRODUCTION In the history of the development of Indian nationalism in the 20 th century, especially in Malabar, the role of Muslims like Muhammed Abdurahiman can be remembered only with great pride and honour 1.

  • CHAPTER FOUR Pointers to New Social Order Introduction This
    CHAPTER FOUR Pointers to New Social Order Introduction This chapter tries to look into the changes that had occurred in the social structure of Malabar during the eighteenth century. An attempt is made to understand the social structure of the period and to see how the changes that were mentioned in the previous two chapters led to the changes in the social structure. Every society has its own social hierarchy that is moulded according to the economic base. In the previous chapters we have seen how new social groups had come into land and also the subsequent changes in the political structure. In this chapter, an attempt is made to see if these changes led to corresponding change in the social hierarchy of Malabar. 1. Tracing the Social Formations of Malabar: Historical Antecedents 1.1. The Society of Cera Period With the coming of Brahmins into Karaka one can see the reorganization of the social structure into the mould of the varnasramadharma. At the apex of the society were the Brahmins, followed by antarala jatis, the Sudras, the Ezhavas and the host of untouchable castes who stood outside the pale of the caste system. There were a handful of the Kshatriya castes in Kerala. Most of them followed the matrilineal system and the women had sambandham relationship with the Brahmins. Similarly, the Vaysya caste too was not present and the functions of the caste were done by the Christians, the Muslims and also the Jews. As in other regions of Kerala, the Malabar society was also the temple oriented one in Cera period; the hoards of temple inscriptions, Tamil and Sanskrit literature are the testimonial to this fact.

  • Indstrial Potential Survey 2017 Kozhikode District
    Government of Kerala INDSTRIAL POTENTIAL SURVEY 2017 KOZHIKODE DISTRICT DEPARTMENT INDUSTRIES AND COMMERCE, KERALA Website: www.dic.kerala.gov.in, Email: [email protected] Industrial Potential Survey 2017 - Kozhikode Page 1 Industrial Potential Survey 2017 - Kozhikode Page 2 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT Kozhikode as a district came into existence on 1st January 1957. After the formation of Kerala state in 1956, when Malabar district was divided into three districts, the Central district with headquarters at Calicut (Kozhikode) was named as Kozhikode. The district, which initially had 5 taluks, had undergone several changes and the present district with 4 taluks was formed in 2013. The early history of the district is lost in obscurity. Neither inscription nor works of classical geographers and poets help us in reconstructing in full its early history. However, it is certain that during the Sangam Age the district formed part of the empire of the Cheras. During the Sangam age i.e. in the first two centuries of A.D the district was known as Poozhinad, which was later, annexed to Chera empire. The history of Kozhikode district for the next few centuries i.e. upto 8th century A.D is obscure. Kozhikode and its surroundings were part of Polanad ruled by Kolathiris. The ancestors of present Zamorin family defeated Kolathiri’s forces and established their headquarters at Kozhikode. Because of the persistent efforts and administrative abilities of the rulers who were later known as Zamorin, Kozhikode became an important commercial and trading centre during post Sangam age. During the pre Portuguese period the Zamorin achieved the suzerainty over a large track of land and many neighbouring Rajas accepted him as their protector.

  • Legal Change and Gender Inequality: Changes in Muslim Family Law In
    Law & Social Inquiry Volume 33, Issue 3, 631–672, Summer 2008 LegalBlackwellOxford,LSILaw0897-65461747-4469©XXXOriginalLAW 2008 & Change& Social AmericanUKSOCIALArticles Publishing andInquiry Gender INQUIRYBar Ltd Foundation. Inequality Change and Gender Inequality: Changes in Muslim Family Law in India Narendra Subramanian Group-specific family laws are said to provide women fewer rights and impede policy change. India’s family law systems specific to religious groups underwent important gender-equalizing changes over the last generation. The changes in the laws of the religious minorities were unexpected, as conservative elites had considerable indirect influence over these laws. Policy elites changed minority law only if they found credible justification for change in group laws, group norms, and group initiatives, not only in constitutional rights and transnational human rights law. Muslim alimony and divorce laws were changed on this basis, giving women more rights without abandoning cultural accommodation. Legal mobilization and the outlook of policy makers—specifically their approach to regulating family life, their understanding of group norms, and their normative vision of family life—shaped the major changes in Indian Muslim law. More gender- equalizing legal changes are possible based on the same sources.

  • Varian Kunnath Kunhahammad Haji
    VARIAN KUNNATH KUNHAHAMMAD HAJI MAPPILA FREEDOM FIGHTER OF MALABAR Dr. HUSSAIN RANDATHANI In India, Malabar witnessed years long resistance against the British rule, culminating in the establishment of a khilafat raj, at least for six months. Though the British mobilized their maximum strength against the rebels, they had to sweat well to suppress the revolt which were lead by leaders including divines and ulama and their coreligionists. Varian Kunnathn Kunhahammad Haji has been the king pin behind the uprisings during the 1921 struggles. He was known as the Khilafat king who ruled Southern Malabar including Ernad and Valluwanad Taluks of Malabar district. Divines and Ulama like Ali Musliyar, Chembrasseri Thangal, Konnara Thangal and Avokkar Musliyar gave active support to Kunhahammadaji in his anti British struggles and the subsequent khilafat raj which continued for six months. In India the khilafat Monvement started as a protest against the inimical attitude taken by the British against the the Khalifa of Turkey and this became a freedom Movement when Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress openly supported it. The movement has been a symbol of Hindu Muslim Unity in the anti colonial history of the whole of India. In Malabar, in the southernmost region of the country, the leadership of the struggle was in the hands of the local leaders and Muslim divines in cooperation with the Hindu leaders of the region. The Khilafat Movement created months long resistance against the British resulting the martyrdom of thousands of the fighters and wounding of many any displacing a number of people due to atrocities opened by the British authorities.

  • Cosmopolitanism at Work on the Malabar Coast of South India – a Study with Muslim Students in Kozhikode
    Cosmopolitanism at work on the Malabar Coast of South India – a study with Muslim students in Kozhikode Barbara Riedel 1 Introduction It is February 2004, a few weeks after I had started my fieldwork with Muslim students on the Malabar Christian College (MCC) in Kozhikode (also known as Calicut).1 When I introduced myself and my project to the students, I suggested that they show me around their homes, localities of their childhood, localities that were important to them now and in their memories. Rafeeq2 then invited me to visit him and his family in a small coastal town some 20 km north of Kozhikode. Rafeeq was at that time a student of Functional English in his third year just before completing his degree.3 During the bus ride - two of his college friends (male and female, Christian and Hindu) are accompanying us today - Rafeeq tells me that his family lives in a house newly built a few years ago. He grew up in a small hut, and remembers that very well. Apart from two sisters he is the only son of a now wealthy and well-respected Muslim business man. His father has been working extremely hard all over India and in Abu Dhabi. In the meantime, he owns and runs several shops, a gas station, a fitness studio in town and one or two supermarkets in Abu Dhabi. Last year, Rafeeq’s father and mother were in Mecca for their Hajj. Both of them have quite a poor education. Rafeeq and his sisters are the first in their family to complete high school and Rafeeq himself is the first to complete a bachelor’s degree in his family.
