The volcano of human emotion that has been hitherto somewhat dormant is in danger of a violent eruption. The searing lava of hatred and revenge would flow out and all that remains would be the burnt out ashes of sorrow, loss, and suffering. The Matriarch fears for her loved ones and worries about the fate of the land. Ernad, Malabar 1921.

The oppression meted out by the Hindu landlords and the injustice of the British government''s land reforms would no longer be tolerated, the newly formed Congress Khilafat Alliance was determined.
