Malappuram is one of the northern districts of
Kerala state in

Malabar before India gaining independence. This district can boast of rich cultural and political heritage. Malappuram is known for national movements such as Khilaphat movement and Malabar Rebellion, in which the common man struggled against
feudalism and
colonialism alike. Though there were occasional religious overtones associated with such movements, many historians acknowledge them as part of
