The work eulogises a prominent leader of the 1921 Malabar Rebellion, Variyamkunnath Haji, who the Right wing describes as 'anti-Hindu'

Social media forwards of excerpts from a central government-published book eulogising a rebel against British rule who the Right wing describes as “anti-Hindu” has caused embarrassment to the Sangh parivar, more so because the compilation had been released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Dictionary of Martyrs of India’s Freedom Struggle (1857-1947), jointly published by the ministry of culture and the Indian Council of Historical Research, portrays Variyamkunnath Kunjahamed Haji, the most prominent leader of the 1921 Mappila Rebellion or Malabar Rebellion in north Kerala against the British colonial forces, in a positive light.

The book, chronicling the freedom movement from the Sepoy Mutiny to Independence, was released in 2019 by Modi, who had then spoken about the need to “honour” and “remember” those who had shaped the nation’s history.

The Malabar Rebellion essentially began as an uprising against the British and the feudal system, but the history of this important event in India’s freedom struggle is complex as many oppressive Hindu landlords, who had been aided by the colonial forces, were killed by the peasantry.

Variyamkunnath Haji is generally celebrated as a patriot who fought the British till he was shot and killed. However, it is also believed that he had killed Hindu landlords who committed untold miseries on the so-called lower caste peasantry of Malabar, or north Kerala.
