DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first collection of poetry exclusively on the topic of Malabar Rebellion, 1921 by an eminent scholar and expert historian Dr KKN Kurup is a masterfully poeticised chronicle of a much misrepresented chapter in the history of Independence struggles in India. In this metrically composed book of history, the poet takes the reader for a carefully guided tread into the most manipulated and misinterpreted images, exposing their true form and emphasising their true significance. 1921, through its thirty four different poetic portrayals, takes a bold stance tracing some of the individual personalities and incidents for their true self. Nearly a century after, the book forces us to take a new look at the Malabar Rebellion and its subtle communitarian dimensions. It adds a new perspective to the unceasing debate on the Rebellion with its essential thrust on different personalities and villages associated with the Rebellion.
