Unity has strength as we all know

I cannot find a reference online to back this story. But i want to believe in it. I heard this in a gathering conducted in my home town, Calicut (kerala) where all known scholars and religious heads of Hindu, Muslim and Christian communities attended. It was a drive to bring in communal harmony .

There is a juma masjid in calicut which was earlier a Hindu temple and king Zamorin donated this to the muslim communities there for prayers. The trading with Arabs were in full bloom and King though it would help them, and the temple was near the coast. The Idol ( was relocated to central calicut and a major temple is built there. King Zamorin's Naval fleet admirals and sailors consisted majorly Muslims (Mappila's) then led by Kunjali Marakkar. Most of the muslim settlements were near the coast. 

Portugese where trying to build a stronghold on Malabar then which could not happen because they had to defeat the Zamorins navy led by Kunjali Marikkar, and they planned an attack in this Juma Masjid during the Friday Prayers when all major muslim leaders would attend. 

Zamorin came to know of this and he sent his elite guards (I believe it was majorly from Nair community). They where 300 or so in numbers against some fleets of Portugese. A bloody battle happened on the grounds of the Juma masjid when Hindu warriors fend of Portuguese while Muslims could not react in prayer. Many of the Nair warriors were slain and wounded but they held the ground. After the prayer, Moplahs where furious of this treachery and joined the Hindu warriors and unleashed the full wrath of Zamorin forces. It is said that day moplahs from entire malabar coast joined the battle and whatever was left of Portuguese fleet was left to retreat. 

This is the original Indians, our great grand fathers. They bled and dought shoulder to shoulder to protect our land, Its a pity what we have become now. Our ancestors would feel insulted by our actions.

 Personally this story is a great inspiration for me and reminds me of what we can achieve..United. Looking forward to a day when we march together  yet again to prosperity and glory.
