THE STORY OF MAMANKAM Part 2/3

These articles quote a lot from K. V. Krishna Ayyar's The Zamorins of Calicut and Wikipedia (which again uses the aforementioned text as the main source). So all credits go to K. V. Krishna Ayyar and the Wikipedia contributors.

Samoothiri - Zamorin, the King of Kozhikode

Valluvakonathiri - The King of Valluvanadu

1. The Legend of the Cheraman Perumal

2. Mamankam During the Reign of Samoothiri

The word "Mamankam" is considered a Malayalam corruption of two Sanskrit words, Maha-Magham (Great Magha) or Maha-Makham (Great Sacrifice). It seems to have begun as a duodecennial (occurring every 12 years) temple festival, similar to the Kumbha Mela. During the Mamankam, it was believed that the goddess Ganga herself descended into the Perar.

This was how Mamankam was conducted in the times of Samoothiri:

Mamankam was conducted once in every 12 years. As soon as the rains subsided in August-September, preparations begun for the coming Mamankam. First, a letter was written to Pandyas, a reminiscence of Chera days. Then circulars were sent to the feudatories and bodyguards, commanding them to be present at Thirunavaya.

Special officers were appointed for the festival. The two banks of the river were guarded by Kottol Patanayakan and Vayyavinat Nampati respectively.

The Thirunavaya Navamukunda temple, which the Samoothiri had to visit daily, stands on the north bank of the Perar. Even now the platform (called Nilapadu thara) on which the Samoothiri had to take his stand (nilapadu) with his sword can be seen in Thirunavaya.

Samuthiri arrived at Thirunavaya on Punartam in the month of Makaram, and the festival began on the next day (Pooyam). After ablutions, he would put on his jewellery and make offerings to his guru Dharmoth Panikkar. After worshipping Ganapati (the lord of obstacles) and Valayanad Bhagavati (the tutelary deity), he proceeded in state to the Nilapadu thara with his retinue.

Descending from his litter at the base of the lower platform, he would mount it and bow towards the Lord of Tirunavaya (Navamukundan) with joined palms. Then he would ascended the Nilapadu thara and shake his sword. After this, the Pantheerayiram (12,000 strong bodyguard) would shake their sheilds decorated with gold and silver. Apart from them, Samoothiri was guarded by different battalions of Eranadan soldiers, Naval captain Kunjali Marakkar's artillery and port authority Shah Bandhar Koya's forces. Suicide warriors called Chavers (see part 3 for details) would approach the Samoothiri from all sides during this time.

Marakkar's guns were then fired, which was the signal for the the next-in-line, Eralppadu, to appear on his own platform on the other side of the river. Then three rounds were fired from both banks, after which the Samoothiri, bowing once more towards Navamukundan, descended from the platform, and returned to the palace.

The afternoons witnessed a grand procession on elephant-back, attracting immense crowds. On the twentieth day, the elephant which carried the Samoothiri was so richly decorated that it looked like a mountain of gold.

In this way, for around one month, from Ayilyam in Makaram to Tiruvathira in Kumbham, went on the celebrations. All the while the Samoothiri was guarded zealously by his companions of honour, a group of 12,000-16,000 warriors who have sworn to die and kill for him.

Tribal man Madhu lynching case: Kerala court finds 14 out of the 16 accused men guilty

A crowd lynched Madhu on February 22, 2018. There were many twists in the case with 24 witnesses turning hostile with as many as three Special Public Prosecutors having only a brief stint.

PALAKKAD: The special court for Scheduled Castes and Tribes (POA) Act, Mannarkad, Palakkad, on Tuesday found 14 of the 16 accused guilty of lynching a 27-year-old tribal man Madhu.

The quantum of punishment will be pronounced by the court on Wednesday.

The trial in the case was completed under the observation of the Kerala High Court.

It may be noted that of the 103 persons who were examined as witnesses, 24 of them had turned hostile.

Many of the relatives of Madhu themselves had turned hostile.

However, circumstantial and digital evidence like the photos and videos which were circulated on social media by the accused themselves were effectively presented by the Prosecution.

The court charged the guilty under section 304 (2) culpable homicide and under the Prevention of Atrocities on Scheduled Castes and Tribes Act.

Only the fourth accused, Aneesh, 38, of Kunnath house, Kakkupadi, Kalkandi, and the eleventh accused, Abdul Kareem, 52 of Cholayil, Mukkali, Kallamala were acquitted.

Those who were pronounced guilty were the:

first accused Hussein, 59, of Mecheriyil, Paakulam, Thavalam

second accused Marakkar, 41, of Killayil, Mukkali, Kallamala

third accused Shamsudheen, 41, of Pothuvachola, Mukkali, Kallamala

fifth accused Radhakrishnan

sixth accused Aboobacker, 39, of Pothuvachola, Kallamala, Mukkali

seventh accused Siddique, 46, of Kurrikal house, Padinjarepalla, Mukkali, Kallamala

eighth accused Ubaid, 33, of Thottiyil house, Mukkali, Kallamala

ninth accused Najeeb, 41, Viruthiyil, Mukkali

tenth accused Jaijumon, 52, of Mannampatta house, Mukkali, Kallamala

twelfth accused Sajeev, 38, of Puthenpurackal, Kottiyurkunnu, Kallamala

thirteenth accused Satheesh, 43, Murikada, Mukkali, Kallamala

fourteenth accused Hareesh, 42, of Cheruvil, Mukkali

fifteenth accused Biju, 45, of Cheruvil,  Mukkali

sixteenth accused Muneer, 36, of Viruthiyil, Mukkali

The charges by the prosecution against the fourth accused, Aneesh, is that he took the photos and videos of Madhu being harassed and beaten by the mob and circulated them on social media. The charges against the 11th accused Abdul Kareem is that he called Madhu a thief. The court acquitted both of them.

Madhu, a tribal youth, was lynched by a mob in Attappadi on February 22, 2018.

Madhu who was staying in a rock cave in Ajumudi hills near Chindaki in Attappadi was pulled out and made to walk four kilometres to Mukkali and was later beaten up and kicked by a mob accusing him of stealing provisions from shops. 

Madhu was 27 years old when he was killed. Madhu had dropped out of seventh grade when his father expired, and he took up skill training in carpentry under the ITDP programme and found work in Alappuzha. He left this after a scuffle and returned to Attappadi, where he was living a nomadic life. He used to wander in the plains, hills and forests here, only visiting his house occasionally.

There were many twists and turns to the case with as many as three Special Public Prosecutors (SPP) having only a brief stint.

Finally, it was Rajesh M Menon who was made the SPP and then the hearing in the case began four years ago.
