ഗുളിക ജിഹാദ്

മുംബൈ: മുംബൈയിൽ നടന്ന മുഹറം ശോകയാത്രയ്ക്കിടെ ജനങ്ങൾക്ക് വിഷഗുളികകൾ വിതരണം ചെയ്യാനുള്ള പോലീസ് പിടികൂടിയതോടെ ഒഴിവായത് വൻ ദുരന്തം. ബൈക്കുള്ള പ്രദേശത്തുനിന്നാണ് ഫയ്യാസ് പ്രേംജി എന്നയാളെ പോലീസ് കസ്റ്റഡിയിലെടുത്തത്. ഇയാൾ നൽകിയ ഗുളികകൾ കഴിച്ച ഒരു ഡസനോളം ആളുകൾക്ക് ശാരീരിക അസ്വസ്ഥതകൾ അനുഭവപ്പെട്ടതിനെ തുടർന്നായിരുന്നു നടപടി.

Selective Memory? Why the Beemapally massacre gets far less attention while issues like Marad gets brought up often?

Fifteen years ago, on May 17, 2009, the day after the 2009 general election results were announced, Beemapally, a coastal town in the capital city of Trivandrum with a predominantly lower-caste converted Muslim majority, lost six Muslim lives in the largest police firing recorded in Kerala.

​

This massacre, which occurred when CPI(M) stalwart V.S. Achuthanandan was Chief Minister and the late Kodiyeri Balakrishnan was Home Minister, went uncondemned by the collective conscience of Kerala, with the victims being blamed.

​

Beemapally is named after the mosque that houses the tombs of traditional physicians Syedunnisa Beema Beevi and her son, Syedu Shuhada Maheen Abubacker, who arrived from Arabia in the 14th century.

​

The Beemapally Muslims have faced social, economic, and political exclusion, reinforced by Islamophobia, casteism, and racism, since the time of monarchical Travancore. This exclusion dates back to when the upper-caste king Marthanda Varma killed Maheen and their ancestors, who were lower-caste Hindus that had converted after resisting the oppressive system.

​

**The police firing**

​

Twenty-eight-year-old James, aka Kombu Shibu, was a notorious goon from the predominantly Latin Catholic area of Cheriyathura, known for regularly causing trouble at Beemapally. He threatened people by claiming to be HIV-positive, cutting his hand with a blade, and smearing his blood to scare them.

​

On May 8, he refused to pay the bill at Peer Muhammad's shop, and on May 16, a confrontation erupted with Beemapally locals when Shibu tried to extort money from Nizammudin, who was parking his car. During the scuffle, he threatened to disrupt the Uroos on May 25, the annual festival commemorating Beema Beevi's death. Despite promises from the district administration to the mosque committee, the police did not arrest Shibu. On the night of May 16, he set fire to locals' boats, escalating community tensions.

​

The next day, on May 17, around 400 police personnel were deployed on the roads of Cheriyathura and Valiyathura bordering Beemapally. Shibu and his gang returned to Beemapally, causing more trouble in the presence of police by stopping buses carrying pilgrims to the mosque. Beemapally residents gathered at the road to the beach, which separates Beemapally and Cheriyathura on the Valiyathura-Poonthura road. They refused to disperse, and suddenly, without permission from the District Collector and in violation of the Kerala Police Manual 1970, the police fired at them between 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm.

​

The firing resulted in the deaths of Ahammad Ali, Seyyadali, Abdul Hakkim, and Badusha on the spot, and Ahamad Khani and Firos, a minor, in the hospital. Fifty-two people were injured, with 27 of them sustaining gunshot wounds. Shibu, who died in 2014, was only arrested on May 18. Compensation of 10 lakhs and a job were offered by the government to the families of the six killed, but they are still awaiting justice.

"Sangh Gramam"

“This family adheres to Hindu traditions and beliefs.” 

​

The notice pasted outside Sreekala’s house in Keraladithyapuram, on the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram, is hard to miss. Fixed just below the nameplate carrying the names of Sreekala and her husband Satheesh, a retired Air Force officer, the board is one of the many visible assertions of Hindu identity that have begun appearing in everyday spaces across parts of Kerala.

​

In fact a few kilometres away, at Keraladithyapuram Junction, that assertion takes on a more explicitly political form. When TNM visited the area in late April, a large red banner stretched across the road, carrying the image of 17th-century Maratha ruler Shivaji and the words “sangha gramam,” literally meaning “Sangh village.” 

​

Residents say the banner has remained there for several months, and it sticks out, especially in Kerala’s landscape, for two reasons.

​

The first is Shivaji himself. The Maratha ruler has little historical connection to Kerala, but his image has increasingly appeared in Sangh-linked festivals, rallies, and processions in the state in recent years, alongside saffron flags, Hanuman imagery, and other symbols associated with Hindutva mobilisation in north and western India.

​

The second is the open declaration of the locality as a “Sangh village.” It is notable that the Hindu nationalist organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliates have had a strong organisational presence in Kerala for decades, but much of this work has taken place through everyday community spaces rather than direct electoral politics. The RSS has built grassroots networks ranging from shakhas that conduct regular ideological training sessions to cultural organisations and trade unions, community welfare initiatives, and involvement in temple committees and festival organising.
