Moplah Rebellion broke out on 20th August 1921 at Tirurangadi. The moplah rampage affected the four taluks of Ernad, Walluvanad, Ponani and Calicut in Malabar district. This was an area well known as one of the "most fertile breeding ground of active fanaticism."
In the Ernad Taluk,where the Moplah were for the most part proselytes drawn from the dregs of Hindu population. These men were miserably poor and hopelessly ignorant, and their untutored minds were particularly susceptible to the inflammatory teaching that 2/n
Paradise was to be gained by killing kafirs, and the servants of kafirs."They would go out on the war path , killing Hindus,no matter whom and would be joined by other fanatics converting large number of Hindus to Islam. 3/n
Many ordinary Hindus,as well as some Hindu landlords(Jenmis), were killed, while many of them were victims of arson and serious physical attack while their houses were looted by the Moplahs. 4/n
At some places, Moplah women and children took part in robbing Hindu women of even the garments on their bodies.
In a memorial submitted by the women of Malabar to The Countess of Reading it was addressed:
In a memorial submitted by the women of Malabar to The Countess of Reading it was addressed:
"Of the many wells and tanks filled up with the mutilated, but only half dead bodies of our nearest and dearest ones who refused to abandon the faith of our fathers;of pregnant women cut to pieces and left on the roadside and in the jungles,
with unborn babe protruding from the mangled corpses, of innocent and helpless children from our arms and done to death before our eyes, and our husbands and fathers tortured, flayed or burnt alive,
of our sisters forcibly carried away from the midst of kith and kin and subjected to every shame and outrage." "Images of the deity shamefully insulted by putting entrails of slaughtered cows where flower garlands used to be or smashed."
More than 100 temples were destroyed and desecrated.
Arya samaj, particularly Pandit Rishi Ram Sharma, had played a major role in taking those unfortunate Hindus back to the fold of Sanatan Dharma.

Evidence conclusively shows that it was not destitution that worked on the minds of Ali Musaliar and his followers. It was the influence of khilafat and non cooperation movement that drove them to their crime.
It needs to be mentioned that Gandhi was smothering thousands of cases of forced conversions to Islam. When we look at the Gandhi's statements on the sufferings of Hindus at the hands of Moplahs ,we fail to find even a word on desecration of Hindu temples.
He also did not utter a word on the abduction and rape of Hindu women and their forced Nikah with Muslim captors. Curiously enough, like Gandhi , Nehru also appeared more concerned with treatment meted out to Moplahs.
There are many instances in the past where we Hindus have suffered and continue do so. Now it is our duty to bring back the horrors committed against us. Let's take a pledge to protect our Sanatan Dharma. Jai hind
