Our Place...Mannarkkad...the land of beauty...

The land of beauty

As the name suggests, it has
Mannu -> soil
Aaru -> River
Kaadu -> Forest,but i think tht the name

did not get in that way.there are many places with these components.they didnt have the name 'mannarkkad'!!actually its 'mannar kaadu'that is mannar means masters or rulers and kaadu means forest.this area was ruled by mannarkkad nair veedu who were called as mannar by aadivasis.And attappadi,were these aadivasis lived was (one of the rain forest in kerala) partially controlled by these mannarkkad nair tharavaadu.maybe this lead to the formation of place name'Mannarkkadu'.Manarkaaadu chaged to mannarkkadu.Or we can also say that the ruler valluvakonathiri was called mannan.That formed the place name Manarkaadu to mannarkkadu. The evergreen forest SilentValley is here in Mannarkkad.Great place to visit.

Mannarkkad (also known as Mannarghat or Manarghat) is a beautiful town in Palakkad district of Kerala state, south India. It is the headquarters of Mannarkkad Taluk, and is the biggest revenue village in Kerala. It is situated 40 km from the district headquarters, at the north east end of the district, on the way to Kozhikkode(NH213) and on the foots of Western Ghats. Silent Valley (a tropical evergreen rain forest with an unbroken evolutionary history of 50 million years) is only 66 km from Mannarkkad.

Mannarkkad has memories of the invasion of Tippu Sultan and Mopila riot. In 1921, hundreds of people lost their lives.The former Ruler/Desavazhi of Mannarkkad is known as 'Mannarkkadu Muppil Nair'. He was a 'Samantha' under 'Valluvakonathiri' of Valluvanadu. The famous novel of Malayatoor Ramakrishnan 'Ponni' is based on the 'Adivasis' of Mannarkkadu. The Sandalwood smuggler 'Veerappan' used 'Shiruvanni Forests' of Mannarkkadu Muppil Nairs as his shelter.

The population of Mannarkkad is estimated at 150,000+. Mannarkkad has an agri-based economy; main agriculture produce consists of natural rubber, coconut, areca nut, banana, plantain, nutmeg, pepper and rice. But due to inordinate use of chemicals, the natural ecosystem has been adversely affected. But over a decade of control, the town has revived many almost extinct natural species of reptile, butter flies, fresh water fish and other organisms.

70%-80% of the agri-income is earned by 20%-25% of the population. Of the rest, 10% are into trading and the remaining 65% of the total population are below slightly above or below the poverty line.

The town has for ages attracted immigrants from all over and is an amazing community of people who speak multiple languages including Kannada, Telugu, Tulu, Tamil etc. For this reason, you will find shades of a metropolitan city in terms of harmony among multiple cultures in this rather small town. Within Kerala, it had been also a destination for immigrants from southern Kerala seeking their fortune in rubber plantation sector.

Nestled between two rivers kunthippuzha and nellippuzha, Mannarkkad (Mannarghat) valley is famous for its natural beauty. Silent Valley Rain forests and the Attappadi high range add grandeur to the scenery. It is a common destination for trekkers.

Present Mannarkkad M.L.A is Mr. Jose Baby who is also the deputy speaker of Kerala Legislative assembly.Shri.T.Sivadasa Menon,Former Kerala Finance Minister also born in Mannarkkad.

Mannarkkad is famous for Mannarkkad Pooram. It is the festival celebrated Kumbha masam of every year. The Adivasis from Attappadi will reach the UdayarKunnu temple where the pooram happens to see Devi.

ISLAM AND THE AIM OF LIFE

What is the purpose of my life? What is the purpose of your life? What is the purpose of our lives? Such questions occur frequently to thinking people.
People answer there questions in different ways. some people beliver that the purpose of life is to get rich. But what will their purpose be after they have collected millions of dollars. So what? Then what? What will be their purpose after they get these millions of dollars? If the purpose of life is to become wealthy, there will be no purpose after wealthy. In fact, here lies the problem for some disbelivers of misbelieves. When they have amassed the money of which they have dreamt, their lives lord purpose, they live in tension and restless and suffer the panic of notingness.

Islam and Muslims

means "self-submission to God" and a Muslim is "one who surrenders himself to God". It calls for the complete acceptance of the teachings and guidance of God manifested through the Holy Quran and the life example of the Prophe Muhammed (peace be upon him). Islam offers humanity the complete code of life which, he followed in the right direction, will bring peace, harmony and success in both this world and hereafter.
Allah, the Arabia word for God. Is a unique term. Neither gender, nor plural can be formed out of it, thus distinguishmg the only one God (the creater) from all other creation.

WHAT DOES ISLAM SAY ABOUT TERRORISM ?

Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Quran, God said: "God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God lover just dealer"
Chapter 60, Verse 8
The prophet Muhammed prohibits soldiers killing non-soldiers, and he would advise them (... Do not betray, do not be excessive. Do not kill child).
The prophet Muhammed classified murders as a major sin, and he warned that on the Day of Judgement. (The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgement will be those of bloodshed.)
In the light of there and other Islamic texts, the acts of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women and children, are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness, and the majority of Muslims hav nothing to do with the violent events some people hav associated with Muslims.
