Answers
Answer:
The Malabar Rebellion (Malayalam: മലബാർ കലാപം, Malabār Kalāpaṁ ?) was an armed uprising in 1921 against British[1] authority in the Malabar region of Southern India by Mappilas and the culmination of a series of Mappila revolts that recurred throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Malabar Rebellion began as a reaction against a heavy-handed crackdown on the Khilafat Movement, a campaign in defense of the Ottoman Caliphate,[2] by the British authorities in the Eranad and Valluvanad taluks of Malabar. In the initial stages, the movement had the support of Mohandas Gandhi and other Indian nationalist leaders, and a number of minor clashes took place between Khilafat volunteers and the police, but the violence soon spread across the region.[3] The Mappilas attacked and took control of police stations, British government offices, courts and government treasuries. In the later stages of the uprising, Mappila Muslims prosecuted many of those accused of helping the police to suppress their rebellion.[1][4]
