The Moplah peasant struggles took place in

The Moplah (or Mappila) peasant struggles took place in the Malabar region of present-day Kerala [3]. These uprisings were primarily driven by agrarian grievances, including high revenue demands, evictions, and the oppression of officials and high-caste Hindu landlords known as Jenmis [1]. While a series of outbreaks occurred throughout the nineteenth century (notably between 1836 and 1854), the most significant rebellion erupted in 1921 [3]. This later movement was closely linked to the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, as local Mappila tenants were organized by Congress and Khilafat supporters against British colonial rule and the feudal land tenure system [2]. The rebellion was eventually suppressed by British armed forces by 1922 after intense conflict in the southern Malabar district [1].
