The 1921 Uprising in Malabar by Nitheesh Narayanan

4.0

---

a short work that gives the facts and leads the readers through the complexities of the malabar rebellion of 1921. i'm glad that this book exists, as it gives the history and political nature of a region that is already so overlooked in mainstream indian history circles. add to that the nature of this uprising, and it is very rare for people to have even heard of it despite how powerful and symbolic this movement was. it is doubly important in the face of growing anti-muslim sentiments in the country today. would definitely recommend to those who are looking to expand their knowledge on indian history, particularly with regard to malabar, the northern portion of the south indian state of kerala.
