Next year , 2021 is 100 years of #MalabarRiots known for massacre of killing lakhs of Malabar Hindus, now bring made into a movie hailing Muslims Heros.

In 80's I recollect my granny narrate about how 4 of her siblings n uncles were skinned and killed by Moplahs in Malabar.
..one of the survived man, hid his remaining few women including my granny in a secret house for few days and later smuggled them to safety to central Kerala. Today, these families are settled in Ponnani, Ottapalam & N Parur. #MalabarMassacre
.. one of the families from it later came to be named after the incident thus bearing a house name in malayalam "Kozhikott Akathittaveettil" roughly translated as "The family who were hidden in a house in Calicut"
#MalabarMassacre
as per my granny, during those hiding days, this Samaritan uncle along with his few men, would safeguard the women at night hiding in the dark above the gate with vessels full of hot boiling oil etc to pour on the blood thirsty mooplahs in case. #MalabarMassacre
It was an ethinic cleansing similar to Kashmiri Pandits in 1990s. Thousands of Hindus who were force converted to Islam were later reconverted to Hinduism with help from Arya Samaaj after the Moplahs were overpowered by Gorkhas of the British Army. #MalabarMassacre
