Kuroolli Chekon

Kurooli Chekon, known as Kadathanadan Simham, was a Thiyya warrior who lived in the 19th century in Vadakara (1869–1913), North Malabar, who fought against the oppression by the British Government and Kadathanad Raja.

[1] Vaniyakuruvalli Kunji Chekavar, also known as Kurooli Chekon, was a fierce warrior and farmer who fought valiantly against the barbaric culture, cronyism and cruelty of the colonized region of Vadathanara in Kozhikode district about 100 years ago.

[1] Apart from caste and religion, Kuruli Chekon, a close friend and adored man of the Thiyyas, Mappilas, Kurichyas, poor Nairs and all other peoples, became the target of the King of Kadathanad and the noble chiefs.

Chekon grew in the hearts of the people as a divine character, who was the last word for resolving disputes in the country and an invincible force to save those who were suffering and persecuted.
