Chapter 16 in the courts

Early next morning Renjith woke up and prepared the Preliminary case bulletin a and emailed it to sanju.

Sanju was stunned at the detail encased in the bulletin what shocked him even more was that Renjith wanted to apply chapters of the IPC not sections as in other cases

These chapters where as follows

Chapter VI sections 122 thru 130 except sections 125 and 126

Chapter V A section 120B

Chapter V sections 107 thru120

Chapter VIII Sections 153,153A, 153B

Chapter XV Section 295,295A thru 298

Also including chapters XVI, XVII & XXII

Sanju elaborated on the bulletin and registered the case in the Supreme Court

The case was to be heard by the Honorable court on the next day

To say that the case caused a stir would be putting it very lightly

The case caused a shockwave in the media an article in a leading

Newspaper summed it up the best it red “malabar 1920 a rebellion or a riot? New case set to ask haunting questions on the so called rebellion”

The court room was nothing short of a tether with prosecution counsel Sanju tearing in to the defence lead by some of the most eminent lawyers of the land

The defence was trying its best to get the whole case quashed citing the same doubts that had haunted sanju but the defense counsel made strong arguments to the counter

The drama was not only limited to the court room the hashtag #Justiceformalabr was the top trending in twitter for the duration of the case

Both Renjith and sanju found themselves at the center of a lot of attention both good and bad

Mostly bad since they had dared to take on the system they often ridiculed by a section of the media

The situation in the court room was also not that different for sanju everything that he had earned and got was on the line

The defense was stooping to new lows every day it even went till the extant to call the evidence presented by sanju as false and fabricated

With almost borderline personal attacks but through all these two men stood firm and also had the support of their respective families

But on the other hand they were hailed as the defenders of the truth by most of the rightwing leaning section of both the mainstream print and social media

Such was the Public interest generated by the case that the court not only forwent its winter brake but also constituted a special bench headed by the chief justice of India to hear the case at Calicut the central government on advice of the attorney general and consolation with the supreme court upgraded this bench to a judicial commission it was known as the Malabar commission

The commission through its special reporter Mrs. Sheba the commission poured over mountains of archival material as most of the victimized families was long dispersed

It was hard and long process and to add to that the resistance encountered by the reporter in areas affected by the riots from the local population was enormous

And in some places violent but the special roving reputure made submitted the her report to the chair of the commission at Calicut on the 6th of November 2017

the commission further submitted its findings to the court the Honrable court communicated that he final verdict would be passed on the 20th of November 2017

Both Renjith and sanju were by now media darlings and were comfortable with the media glare that this case had bought in to their lives but behind it all both men were

Nervous wrecks on the impending final verdict of the case on the day of the verdict the both the parties were present at the court and the Honrable bench red out the verdict

“Let it be known that in the RenjithSachindra Raman Nair V/s others case

Case 2021/12/2017delivered on the 20th day of the 11th month of the year 2017

The honorable court delivers the following judgement

That the defense having failed to convince the court comprehensively on the non-validity of the case the court took up the case and after much thought and deliberation have come to the conclusion in the light of the report of the commission thus constituted along with the special additional report by the commissions special roving reputure who visited the said areas

The court orders that following measures be taken

1. the victims of the said rebellion be remembered through a memorial

2. a complete database be made of the victims

3. the state government remove the status of freedom fighters from any remaining members actually involved in the said rebellion

4. the political parties in question are to delete all reference to the said rebellion as part of the wider national struggle

5. the victims families shall be paid a onetime payment of 10 cores as compensation payment

6. all properties thus found to be illegally claimed and legalized post-independence remains quashed the lands are to be returned back to the descendants of the said family albite under norms of the land ceiling acts in force

Finally the court would like to put on record its appreciation for both Mr Renjith and Mrs. Sheba for their respective dedication in their fields

The court also likes to make a special mention of its appreciation of both the defense and prosecution lawyers for their spirited defense of their respective case

The court stands adjourned in the case

The following verdict came as a shock to the establishment in the malabar region overnight many “rich” Families lost their houses and estates as the effects of the case were discussed surprisingly even on Pakistani news channels with a certain Hamid crying horses about the how the Hindu banyan has struck once again and how unjust India was to his brethren

While all this was happening Renjith was sound asleep in his home in the arms of victory and safe in the knowledge that he had won his war for justice not only for his family but particularly for his grand old man

But little did he know that the grand old man had passed him the mettle of the chief of the family that night

If you are planning a spinoff, a few things would be very useful

1. Court room drama be elaborated a bit- A few dialogues, especially when it becomes personal

2. A few political statements from the usual suspects and the maulvis getting into the act.

3. The leftists and the media trying to justify Moplah riots etc.

4. Renjtih's actions lead to a re-awakening of the moribund Nair and Ezhava communities in Malabar and Travancore- they become more assertive and aware and proud of their heritage.

Chapter 17 the 6th lord

They say that every high is followed by a low Renjith was not low but devastated

He had lost his biggest source of support was gone his grand dad was dead

He had passed away in the dead of the night in his sleep truth be told Renjith thought that his granddad had a good and peaceful death

But still a loss is a loss no matter how so ever you look at it as far as the family was concerned a grand old tree had fallen

Renjith was bought up in the English aristocratic tradition of the stiff upper lip

And that stiff upper lip was on full display as Renjith took total control of the situation

Arranging all the things needed for cremating and other death related rituals

But what showed his leadership the best was in dealing with the mourning relatives

And workers of the estate

16 days after the death of Sachindra Shanmukham Raman Nair the 5th prince of Vadakaka kolikal, Vadakan tirur kovilanagdi amsham, Eranadu

Renjith had been busy with work in the coconut plantation that was owned by his family firm the Royal eranadu Group of he got an urgent call asking him to come back home

When he reached home he saw his friend Mr sanju standing along with the head priest of his family deity temple His holiness Parameshwaran standing and discussing some thing

As Renjith approached the house he was greeted by the said gentlemen and his extended family

Sanju who was now posted as Renjith’s Family lawyer handed him a letter addressed to him by his late grand dad

But there was a difference in the tone in which he was handed over the letter by his friend

He opened his letter and started to read


Dear Renjith,

If you are reading this letter that has been handed to you by the family lawyer accompanied by the head priest of our temple then that means I have departed from this mortal world and have gone to join my family in the realm of the dead

I just wanted you to know that you are now the 6th Prince yes you are a prince now

Now I know that you will be thinking that what I can do with a titular position

What’s the use right?

No dear you are an Important part in that society people our people will look up to you for guidance and leadership

Do not fail them my dear Prince you have the strength of your ancestors with you and my blessings go forth and claim your destiny

Your coronation will happen on the exact date one year from now

You shall be crowned prince of Vadakaka kolikal, Vadakan tirur kovilanagdi amsham, Eranadu

Always remember a good leader is one who have conquered the hearts of the people

And earned their trust may the gods guide you

Regards

The Right Honrable Sachindra Shanmukham Raman Nair the 5th prince of Vadakaka kolikal, Vadakan tirur kovilanagdi amsham, Eranadu ICS/IAS/IFS

Days passed quickly for Renjith 2018 came to fast for his liking and so did the 20th of November but the real reason was that he had been real busy in looking after the family and its business interest that he hadn’t noticed that time flew by him

The day came fast it was a grand ceremony with elephants and people from all over Kovilanagdi gathering at the old palace at tirur the people were awe struck at the condition of the “old” palace it was truly renovated and bought up to speed

It stood up to its designation as a palace

A herald came up to the assembled crowd and said presenting

His Most serene Highness the Right Honorable Renjith Raman Nair the 6th prince of Vadakaka kolikal, Vadakan tirur kovilanagdi amsham, Eranadu

He was flanked by his extended family and friends he sat with the élan of a true king

Renjith silently made a vow to protect his people no matter what the cost

He was now the 6th Lord of the house of kovilanagdi

After the coronation the young prince returned back to his world duties as the MD and chairman of the royal Eranadu Group

He followed the same work ethic as his granddad hard work and spirituality went hand in hand for the prince

Under his tutelage the RE group diversified in to a multitude of industries including but not limited to logistics, supermarket chain under the name of farm yard which specialized in providing “Naturally” grown products from vegetables to meat

He also diversified in to plantations, shares, defense manufacturing and financing

Renjith was also named the Founding chairman of the northern Tirur Commercial bank which was sponsored by the central bank of India

He saw to it that the Royal Eranadu Group became the biggest employer in the area

The Sachindra Shanmukham Raman Nair memorial school was also established by a generous gnat from the 6th prince and soon a state of the art college and hospital was also added

All this won him the affection of the people and the 6th Lord had truly earned his place in the hearts of his subjects and of the greater state as a man of the people

The future was indeed looking rosy and hopeful

But in between all this Renjith never forgot his mission for justice for the victims of the malabar rebellion

He constantly tracked the government and applied force in nonviolent means to get the recommendations of the malabar commission implemented on the ground

He did his own little things like he upgraded his blog the Clarion call to a full-fledged website he published his resrech as book under the name of malabar 1920 a revisit which garner him wide acclaim with the book going in to no 2 in the Penguin must read collection he also released a Malayalam translation of the same under the same name this time published by DC books of Kottayam

Such was the depth of the research that his books were designated must read as a supplementary to BA in Kerala History by the University of Kerala

But as fame came calling Renjith still remained the same old down to earth person that his family and his subject loved over all he still remembered the words spoken to him in absentia by his predecessor His granddad it echoed to him “Always remember a good leader is one who have conquered the hearts of the people And earned their trust”

Thinking such the young prince drifted to sleep

Chapter 18 towards the future


Renjith looked at the clock of his laptop it was 4:06PM it was moody and cloudy out side

He had a bit of dejavu he was now lost in thought he remembered the old days how an IAS aspirant became a business man and a multiple Pulitzer price wining author

He rembered that life changing discussion with his grandfather and his research

As he was lost in thought he felt a small hand come and close his eyes from behind

He smiled it was his son Arjun, Renjith smiled and peered his son’s hands from his eyes

All had happened quickly that Renjith felt that it had just happened yesterday

His marriage with Bhairavi Singh was a shock to his family she was a Kachwa Rajput princess whom Renjith had fallen in love with

He proposed to her in the city palace at Jaipur which she duly accepted there was some resistance at first on both ends but then finally it was accepted and a whirlwind marriage of 21 days happened

Both Renjith and Bhairavi operated as a team they were so synced that each knew what the others were thinking

To the people she was like a goddess earning him the sobriquet Amma tampurati or Queen mother

She returned the love she got from her adopted subjects by playing an active part in the community

The Prince and princess had 3 more kids other than Arjun two more Boys Kartaveera Arjun and Vishnu Guptan and one Girl who Bhairavi named Gayathri Devi in honor of one of her ancestors the Queen Mother of Jaipur Gayathri Devi

As the years passed the prince was counted as one of the most brilliant business men India had ever seen with investments ranging from education to oil and gas

With wide ranging business interest the prince spun off his foreign business interest under the name the Royal Malabar international in time the for princes and princess grew in to well-groomed lady and gentlemen who were the apple in the eyes of the people of kovilanagdi

Arjun eased in to his family business two of his brothers joined the defense services

And rose to high positions within the service all were married to royal women

With Arjun and Kartaveera Arjun marrying from the same family as his mother and his younger brother marrying from the aristocratic family of dogras

Gayathri Devi was married to the family of Jaisalmer

With his kids settled and happy married Renjith and his wife withdrew one step at a time form the public lime light

As their respective ages had started to get to them unbenousend to any one

Renjith had made a quaint little cottage for him and his wife to retire to

He had Sanju draft up a will of transfer which invested all of the defacto powers in

His eldest son Arjun this was done after much debate within the family and after knowing the opion of the people

Everyone had agreed that Arjun would be the right candidate for the job

After having drawn up the will the fateful day came when the sixth Prince and princess abdicated in favour of the younger ones

Renjith and biravi was in no way poor he had judiously invested in retirement plans for both him and her

So that they would be independent of their kids.

They had a happy life in their cottage in kodug from they used to visit their kids and vice versa as Renjith and Biravi were religious they would travel to far off pilgrimage sites like the harimadir sahib or the vishno devi temple

They met their end while on a trip to Armarnath when terrorist ambushed the bus they were travelling but as they were inseparable even in death as both had died while propecting each other from the shower of bullets

It also kind off seemed fitting in a macabre sort of way that Renjith and biravi were also killed by the same kind of ideology that had been the fuel for the Mappila riots all those years ago only the names changed the places changed but the idea and supporters hadn’t changed so in a way they were the latest victims of the Maphilla rebellion.

Sad but a bittersweet end. I hope their deaths did not go in vain and the Malabar soldiers in particular hunted down and halaaled every pig and their handler responsible including cross border raids.

Could you fulfil this fantasy?
