The Muslims of North Kerala , generally known as the Mappilas had an important role in the history of Kerala. They rendered valuable services in the struggle against the Foreign power like Portuguese and the Britsh..They remained as the loyal subjects of the Hindu rulers like the Zamorin and the Kolathiri. Later , when the Indian national congress took the leadership of Indian freedom movement, they whole heartedly lined up under its banner. But the Malabar rebellion of 1921 changed their political outlook and they began to move towards an identity politics ,that is towards Muslim League. This paper is a study in this regard
