Manjeri revolt

Manjeri revolt

In 1848 when Fazal Thangal returned from Mecca, he became active amongst the mappila Muslims, encouraging peasants to struggle against landowners. In August 1849 there was a revolt erupted at Manjeri – in the same spot of  1844 anti-British rebellion – and it was  first rebellion that he led after his return from Makka. Hasan Moideen Kutukkaland Kunhi Koya Thangal were at the head of 65 mappilas who bravely engaged in anti-British confrontation at four centers: Pandhallor, Pandikode, Manjeri and Angandipuram. The rebellion was suppressed and all Mappila warriors were martyred.
