The Malayalis Of Pakistan

In 1921, a bloody rebellion in North Kerala led to the death of over 2000 people. In 2018, almost a century later, a song from the film Oru Adaar Love titled Manikya Malaraya Poovi went viral, garnering millions of views, even from parts of India that did not understand a word of Malayalam. But what could connect these two wildly diferent events? This week, in the fifth episode of the series The Great Migration, we uncover the fascinating history of a community in Kerala, who through a chain of events found itself living in Pakistan. Tune in to uncover their story, and the uncertain fate they face today.
