HOW MANY INDIANS KNOW .. KALARI IS THE FATHER OF ALL MARTIAL ARTS ... THE DARKEST PERIOD IN THE HISTORY OF KALARIPAYATTU A hugely important (although also very dark) period in the history of Kalaripayattu was when the practice of the noble martial art was made illegal by the invading British East India Company. In the late 18th Century the Company, who at this point had established huge economic and military bases in Madras (now Chennai), Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai), were in the process of firming up their grip on the South of India by conquering the region of Malabar. They were met with fierce resistance from the Malabar kingdoms of Travancore and Kottayam whose armies consisted of thousands of ferocious warriors who had been trained in a highly effective martial art: Kalaripayattu. Having Kalaripayattu ingrained so deeply into the culture and history of Kerala not only made it very difficult to conquer, it made it frustratingly hard to occupy as well. Even after the British Invasion resistance sprung up from within the Malabar kingdoms, often in the form of bands of guerrilla Kalaripayattu warriors who specialised in daring raids and disruptive ambushes. The most notable resistance by far was that led by Pazhassi Raja, the King of the Kottayam kingdom. At the end of the 18th Century Pazhassi Raja has ascended to the throne by default after those above him in line to the monarchy fled from the oppression of the Company armies. Pazhassi, fresh from fighting a fierce war to repel an invasion from the kingdom of Mysore, immediately took the fight to the British. For a decade he led a fearsome guerrilla army, trained in the ways of Kalaripayattu, that terrorised the Company troops in northern Kerala. He is considered the first freedom fighter of Kerala and a hero of Kalaripayattu. Pazhassi Raja The effectiveness of Pazhassi’s rebellions led the British to take drastic action against the warriors and they banned the practice of Kalaripayattu in the hopes that it would prevent the resisting armies from training. During this period many Kalari Masters and students were imprisoned and the remaining Gurukkals were driven into hiding. There, to the best of their abilities, they continued their craft in secret. The knowledge of the Masters was passed down from generation to generation in complete secrecy, keeping the art alive despite the attempts of the Company to crush it. Sadly, it is thought that much information and many techniques were lost during this dark period but, if it weren’t for the brave Gurukkals the history of Kalaripayattu would have ended two hundred years ago
