## Quotes

* Our role as God's ministers is that of inspiring hope. The pain is great, and the wounds will take time to heal; without faith we cannot please God and this faith must be practical. As leaders, the challenge we face demands that we take practical steps of faith to heal and restore the hope of the people. We must demonstrate the required tenacity to remove the humiliation from our brothers and sisters whose dignity and rights have been constantly abused by a people bent on exterminating them simply because of different beliefs.

# Legend of Cheraman Perumals

The legend of Cheraman Perumals is the medieval tradition associated with the Cheraman Perumals (Chera kings) of Kerala. The sources of the legend include popular oral traditions and later literary compositions. The time of origin of the legend is not known to scholars. It seems the legend once had a common source well known to all Kerala people.

## Quotes

* While the Muslims claim he went to Arabia and became a Muslim, the Buddhists, Jains, Hindus, and Christians equally hold the last Perumal to have been an adherent of their faith. And whether Perumal’s conversion took place in the ninth century or not, it is a tradition which is very popular among the Malabar Muslims and which probably developed in Malabar itself, even though similar stories of ‘Shakarwati’ can be found in Islamic literature outside of India.42 According to the Qissat ShakarwatT the conversion of the Mappillas was effected by some of the Prophet’s com­panions who established mosques with waqf endowments in Malabar in the third decade of Islamic history.43 Most likely the tradition was in­ tended to support the ancient rights of the Muslim families who held juridical positions in Malabar and was then used to prove the antiquity and respectable origin of the Mappilla community in contrast to the North-Indian immigrant and convert Muslims.44 Historically the con­version of Ceruman Perumal is not attested, whether to Islam or any other faith. The story o f the conversion of the king and the partition of Malabar probably evolved from his having given important privileges to the Muslim trading communities.
** Wink A Al-Hind, The Making of the Indo-Islamic World. Volume 1 p 76ff
* The belief that the last Perumal embraced Islam is not based on facts which are clear from the observations made by several learned people. In his History of Kerala, Karuppumveettil Gopala Pillai proves point by point that the story of the last Perumal embracing Islam is utterly wrong. His book explains about it. In the book called Land of Perumals, by Dey, a renowned historian has made it clear that there was no individual Perumal with the name Cheraman and the term merely meant the “ruler of Chera kingdom”. Dr. Gundert has recorded like this. “Even though the term Cheraman Perumal is there on the tongue of every Malayali, no one with that name ever existed.” In the Mangalore edition of “Keralolppathy “ it is stated that the return of the last Perumal was in the middle of 4th century AD. But the British historians have recorded that the period of last Perumal was 9th century AD. Same time, the period in which Muhammad Nabi lived was in 6th century AD. From this it will be clear that the myth about Cheraman Perumal meeting the prophet is not factual. It is claimed that the Perumal embraced Islam in AD 825. But an Arab traveller called Suleiman who visited Kerala during the period has commented that he could not see even one person or even heard from anybody in Kerala about one who is converted to Islam or learned Arabic.

## Quotes

* The Michelson–Morley experiment confronted scientists with an embarrassing alternative. On the one hand they could scrap the ether theory which had explained so many things about electricity, magnetism, and light. Or if they insisted on retaining the ether they had to abandon the still more venerable Copernican theory that the earth is in motion. To many physicists it seemed almost easier to believe that the earth stood still than that waves – light waves, electromagnetic waves – could exist without a medium to sustain them. It was a serious dilemma and one that split scientific thought for a quarter century. Many new hypotheses were advanced and rejected. The experiment was tried again by Morley and by others, with the same conclusion; the apparent velocity of the earth through the ether was zero.
