History of Grama Panchayat
Peruvallur Grama Panchayat is located in Tirurangadi Block of Tirurangadi Taluk of Malappuram District. Tirurangadi, which includes Peruvallur, holds a high place in the history of the national freedom struggle. Some of the Mappila Rebellions that took place in Eranad and Valluvanad Taluks from 1836 against the wrong policies of the British and against the landlords who were the foot soldiers of the British rulers have a deep connection with this historical land. The roads, forts and ancient places of worship that remind us of the era of Tipu and the Zamorin shed light on the ancient history of this village. During the Zamorin's reign, the famous Islamic scholars Syed Sheikh Jifri and Syed Hassan Jifri, who came to Kozhikode from Hallermouth in Arabia and were hosted by the Zamorin King, had close ties with Tirurangadi. Jamaluddin Makhdoom, the Qazi of Tirurangadi at that time, brought Hassan Jifri to Tirurangadi. Mampuram Syed Alavi Thangal was Hassan Jifri's nephew. It is well known that Mampuram Thangal was a staunch anti-British. The book Saiful Btwar, which he wrote to fight against the British, inspired the freedom fighters. Arabi Thangal, who had led the anti-British struggle before Mampuram Thangal, is laid to rest in the historic Naduvil Jamaat mosque in Tirurangadi. After 1857, another courageous chapter against British imperialism was created by the Malabar Rebellion. Tirurangadi was the epicenter of the Malabar Rebellion of 1921. During the rebellion, the leadership of the struggle in Tirurangadi was taken by Ali Muslyar, a native of Nellikuthu, known as the Samarkhadant of Malabar. It was only after a fierce battle that took place in the premises of the historic Tirurangadi Valiya Jamaat mosque that the British army was able to subdue the Muslyar and their followers. It was during this battle that Muslyar's loyal follower, Karada Moideen Sahib, was martyred. K.M. Maulavi Sahib, an early leader of the Khilafat Congress Committee and a leader of the Muslim revivalist movement in Kerala, was sentenced to death by the British army. Tirurangadi, which has a centuries-old political and cultural tradition, is also a prominent educational center in Kerala. The Bordna Mappila Elementary School, which was started in Tirurangadi in 1906, sowed the seeds of primary education in this area. Primary education was made compulsory after the Malabar Rebellion of 1921. The contribution of this land to the growth of the Madrassa movement in Malabar cannot be confined to words or figures. The first Arabi Achukudam in Malabar was established in Tirurangadi in 1883. The Poker Sahib Memorial Orphanage College, which was founded by Muhammad Ismail Sahib in 1967 at Valakkulam and later shifted to Tirurangadi, has now grown into one of the top colleges in Kerala. Oriental Arabic High School, which was started in 1955, is one of the institutions of the orphanage. The churches in Tirurangadi were also famous religious centers. The Dars started in Chinakkal Mosque in 1937, the Naduil Jamaat Mosque, the historic Tirurangadi Valiya Jamaat Mosque, and the Kizhakkepalli where Ali Muslyar conducted Dars9 have contributed famous religious scholars. The first Dars to be conducted in the Naduil Mosque in Tirurangadi was Chalilakatt Ibrahim alias Kunjayi Haji, the father of Chalilakatt Kunjahammad Haji. It is said that even historians have not been able to determine the age of the ancient Thrikkulam Shiva temple in Tirurangadi village. The existing temple can be estimated to be about a thousand years old. The Thrikkulam Shiva temple was administered by the Zamorin dynasty. The Kakkattu Tripurantaka temple, the Sreevalliyalakkal Bhagavathy temple, and the Nalukandam Bhagavathy temple are also places of worship with a lot of history. Tirurangadi has the distinction of being a land of people who support a rich cultural heritage. There are many people in Tirurangadi who have made their mark in the field of art and culture. There are a number of people who were skilled and famous in Mappila arts in the cultural sphere of Tirurangadi.
