It was British Malabar that played a leading role in the freedom movement of the
country.The Indian National Congress had its adherents in Malabar since its formation in
1885.A few Keralites like G.P. Pillai,Chettur Sankaran Nair and Kayyur Nampiyar were
active participants of the congress movement Chettur Shankaran Nair was the President of
the Amaravathi session of the Congress in 1897, the only Malayali to achieve that rare
honour.However these Malayalis worked in their individual capacity and they never
represented Kerala as they lived and worked outside Kerala.The Congress convened a
conference in 1904 at Calicut and a D.C.C. was formed in 1908 in Malabar.Therefore till
1914, there was no remarkable activity of a political nature in Malabar.
