Question: What are the roles of Muslims across the country that the Odayil Ninnu author is from?

The protagonist of the novel is a rickshaw-puller named Pappu. The novel is one of the best known works of Kesavadev. Dev was in the forefront among the writers who employed new norms in the content and characterization in Malayalam fiction. "Odayil Ninnu" came as a shocking revelation that a finest piece of literature can be produced with commonplace themes and unconventional style of prose with ordinary mortals as heroes and heroines. Odayil Ninnu (From the Gutter) is a Malayalam novel written by P. Kesavadev in 1942. Apart from the fact that the appearance of rickshaw puller was a thrilling experience at that time, the author blazed a new trail in Malayalam literature. With the appearance of the novel in 1942 began the publication of a series of high quality novels in Malayalam. <SEP> Islam (Arabic: الإسلام) is the second-largest religion in India, with 14.2% of the country's population or approx. 200 million people identifying as adherents of Islam (2018 estimate). It makes India the country with the largest Muslim population outside Muslim-majority countries. The majority of Indian Muslims belong to the Sunni sect of Islam. The religion first arrived at the western coast of India when Arab traders as early as the 7th century CE came to coastal Malabar and Konkan-Gujarat. Cheraman Juma Mosque in Kerala is thought to be the first mosque in India, built in 629 CE by Malik Deenar. Following an expedition by the governor of Bahrain to Bharuch in the 7th century CE, immigrant Arab and Persian trading communities from South Arabia and the Persian Gulf began settling in coastal Gujarat. Over the centuries, there has been significant integration of Hindu and Muslim cultures across India and Muslims have played a notable role in economics, politics, and culture of India. Ismaili Shia Islam was introduced to Gujarat in the second half of the 11th century, when Fatimid Imam Al-Mustansir Billah sent missionaries to Gujarat in 467 AH/1073 CE. Islam arrived in North India in the 12th century via the Turkic invasions and has since become a part of India's religious and cultural heritage. <SEP> diane guerrero (born july 21, 1986) is an american actress and author. she is known for her roles as inmate maritza ramos on the netflix series orange is the new black and lina on jane the virgin. among her other roles was a recurring role on are we there yet? guerrero grew up in boston and remained there after the rest of her family was deported to colombia. she is an advocate for immigration reform. her role on orange is the new black has contributed to three consecutive wins for the screen actors guild award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series. guerrero is the author of in the country we love: my family divided, a memoir about her parents being detained and deported when she was fourteen. <SEP> He is remembered for his speeches, autobiographies, novels, dramas, short stories, and films.

Kesavadev along with Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai and Vaikom Muhammad Basheer are considered the exponents of progressive Malayalam Literature. P. Kesava Pillai (20 July 1904 – 1 July 1983), better known by his pen-name P. Kesavadev, was a novelist and social reformer of Kerala, India. <SEP> like other settled, agrarian societies in history, those in the indian subcontinent have been attacked by nomadic tribes throughout its long history. in evaluating the impact of islam on the sub-continent, one must note that the northwestern sub-continent was a frequent target of tribes raiding from central asia. in that sense, the muslim intrusions and later muslim invasions were not dissimilar to those of the earlier invasions during the 1st millennium. what does however, make the muslim intrusions and later muslim invasions different is that unlike the preceding invaders who assimilated into the prevalent social system, the successful muslim conquerors retained their islamic identity and created new legal and administrative systems that challenged and usually in many cases superseded the existing systems of social conduct and ethics, even influencing the non-muslim rivals and common masses to a large extent, though non-muslim population was left to their own laws and customs. they also introduced new cultural codes that in some ways were very different from the existing cultural codes. this led to the rise of a new indian culture which was mixed in nature, though different from both the ancient indian culture and later westernized modern indian culture. at the same time it must be noted that overwhelming majority of muslims in india are indian natives converted to islam. this factor also played an important role in the synthesis of cultures.
