Kudiyettram

An endless war began when the English tried to establish their power in India between them and the maraikaayar communities of the western coast in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The English tried to steal away trade and sea supremacy from the maraikaayars. Maraikayar's fight for their rights was a story of valour and miracles. As the religion of such valorous history is now trying to expand its power where are the people who played major roles in that history? What is meant by rule of religion? Thoppil Muhammed Meeran's Kudiyetram (settlement) tackles this questions as modern times happen with their roots on this history. The book is a bridge between fiction and history.
