Speaking to The Hindu, J Nandakumar, all India convenor of Prajna Pravah, said the body was going to organise events on September 25 and 26 in Delhi and at block levels in Kerala to press their demands. “September 25, 1921, was when one of the most gruesome episodes of this movement took place, at Thuvvur, and that’s why the date was chosen. In Delhi at Palika Park, we are organising a programme, exhibition and a memorial for the victims and on the 26th, a public programme at Constitution Club, where historian C I Isaac will speak on the issue. Memorial events for those who died will be held in every block in Kerala as well,” he stated.
According to Mr. Nandakumar, there were “plenty of contemporaneous accounts, including Annie Besant and B.R. Ambedkar” of the Moplah rebellion, which revealed “its true nature” and not part of the Independence movement.
