Venniyour revolt

Venniyour revolt, also known by names such as Venniyour Uprising was a Muslim revolt against the landlord-British alliance that took place in Venniyour near Thirurangadi, Malabar district in 1843. Extensive studies have been conducted on the Mappila Muslim uprisings in Malabar, often interpreted as emotional outbursts of a community, communal riots by religious fanatics, or agrarian revolts by the oppressed peasantry, victims of feudal power. Among these, the Venniyour war stands out.
