The correct answer is C) Thalassery.
The Mappila Rebellion was a major uprising of Muslim Moplahs (Mappilas) against the British Raj in the Malabar region of Kerala, India, from 1921 to 1922. The rebellion was triggered by the arrest of a local religious leader, but it quickly escalated into a wider conflict between the Mappilas and the British authorities. The rebellion was brutally suppressed by the British, and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Mappilas.
The rebellion began on August 20, 1921, when a group of Mappila rebels attacked a contingent of British soldiers at Thalassery. The rebels were led by a charismatic religious leader named Variyan Kunnathu Kunjahammad Haji. The rebels quickly gained control of large areas of Malabar, and began to attack British and Hindu targets.
The British responded to the rebellion by sending in troops and declaring martial law in Malabar. The British forces were able to suppress the rebellion, but at a heavy cost. Thousands of Mappilas were killed, and many more were imprisoned or displaced. The rebellion also led to a deep sense of distrust and resentment between the Mappilas and the British authorities.
The Mappila Rebellion was a major turning point in the history of Kerala. It led to the end of the British Raj in Malabar, and it also had a profound impact on the social and political landscape of the region. The rebellion is still remembered today, and it is a source of great pride for many Mappilas.
