Malappuram

Malappuram is one of the northern districts of Kerala state in India. It was formed on June 16, 1969. Malappuram was part of old British Malabar[?] before India gaining independence. This district can boast of rich cultural and political heritage. Malappuram is known for national movements such as Khilaphat[?] movement and Malabar Rebellion[?], in which the common man struggled against feudalism and colonialism alike. Though there were occasional religious overtones associated with such movements, many historians acknowledge them as part of Indian Independence Struggle
