[[File:Flag of the Arakkal Kingdom (18th century).svg|thumb|Flag of Arakkal from the 18th century onwards]]
'''Arakkal Kingdom''' was a [[Sultanate|Muslim kingdom]] in [[Kannur]] town in [[Kannur district]], in the state of Kerala, [[South India]]. The king was called [[Ali Raja]] and the ruling queen was called [[Arakkal Beevi]].<ref>Logan, William (2006). Malabar Manual, Mathrubhumi Books, Calicut. ((ISBN|978-81-8264-046-7))</ref> Arakkal kingdom included little more than the [[Kannur|Cannanore]] town and the southern [[Laccadive Islands]] ([[Agatti]], [[Kavaratti]], [[Andrott|Androth]] and [[Kalpeni]], as well as [[Minicoy]]), originally leased from the Kolattiri. They owed allegiance to the Kolattiri rulers, whose ministers they had been at one time. The rulers followed the [[Marumakkathayam]] system of matrilineal inheritance, a system that is unique to a section of Hindus of [[Kerala]]. Under Marumakkathayam, the succession passes to the male offspring of its female members, in other words from a man to his sister's son and so forth. As the only Muslim rulers in Malabar, they saw the rise of [[Hyder Ali]], de facto ruler of the [[Mysore Sultanate]] as the opportunity to increase their own power at the expense of Chirakkal, and invited him to invade Kerala. Ali Raja Arakkal Sultan Afsal Ashraf  living in Konni Panchayat of Pathanamthitta district is the living heir of the Arakkal dynasty.

The Bibi received no special treatment after the treaties of [[Srirangapatam]], and settlement negotiations were long and difficult but she finally signed an agreement in 1796 that guaranteed continued possession of the city of Cannanore and the Laccadive Islands but deprived her of any claim to sovereignty. Yet, as late as 1864, the Bibi of Cannanore was included in an official list of "native sovereigns and chiefs" as being entitled to a seven-gun salute. Because of the outbreak of the war with France shortly after the 1796 agreement, as well as other considerations, the Laccadive Islands remained unnoticed and the Bibi continued to rule them with no restrictions. The islands were misgoverned throughout the 19th century, and the British Government had to assume their administration at least twice, from 1854 to 1861, and again (permanently as it turned out) in 1875. In 1905, in exchange for the remission of overdue tribute, the payment of an annual pension to the head of the family, and the title of Sultan, the Ali Raja at last agreed to cede all rights, whether as sovereign or tenant, to the Laccadive Islands, including Minicoy, which the family claimed as their private property.

The king's palace, which he purchased from the Dutch in 1663, was named [[Arakkal Palace]] after the ruling dynasty.

As per legend, the last ruler of the [[Chera Empire]], [[Rama Varma Kulashekhara Perumal]], is said to have been converted to Islam at the hands of [[Malik Deenar|Malik Bin Dinar]],<ref name="Logan">Malabar Manual, Volume 1, William Logan</ref> an Islamic missionary. Perumal along with Malik Deenar came from Mahodyapuram (Old name of [[Kodungallur]] -The capital of the [[Chera Empire]]) to [[Thalassery]], to visit Perumal's sister and nephew residing there. Perumal's sister Sridevi and nephew Mabeli were residing in a place called Dharmadam north of Thalassery. The relics of their fort is located in the vicinity of Govt. [[Brennan College]], Thalassery. [[Mabeli]] was converted to Islam and he accepted the name Muhammad Ali, who later became the first Arakkal Ali Raja.<ref>Kerala Muslim History – P A Syed Mohammed</ref>

The region comprises [[Edakkad]], Anjarakkandy, Mavilayi etc.) now in [[Kannur]] district. Malik Deenar built a mosque in [[Madayi]] north of Kannur, the third oldest mosque in Kerala.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.elatrip.com/categoryspot/spotdetails/8/498/2/Madayi-Mosque.html |title=Madayi Mosque |access-date=25 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929051520/http://www.elatrip.com/categoryspot/spotdetails/8/498/2/Madayi-Mosque.html |archive-date=29 September 2013 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

Perumal's nephew Mabeli was an '''[[Arayankulangara Nair]]''', and hence the Nair matrilineal system is observed by the Arakkal royal family.<ref name="Arayankulangara">''Kerala District Gazetteers: Malappuram'', A. Sreedhara Menon, Superintendent of Govt. Presses, 1972, p. 92</ref> His wife was the daughter of Kolathiri, and they later came to be known as Arakkal Beevi.<ref name="Arayankulangara"/> Muhammad Ali continued in the service of the Kolathiris even after his conversion, and his successors known as the [[Mammali Kidavus]] were the hereditary ''[[Padanairs]]'' of the Kolathiri.<ref name="Arayankulangara"/> Around this time, many Muslim merchant families became financially influential in the [[Malabar region]].  When the Arakkal family took control of [[Lakshadweep|Laccadives]], they achieved near-royal status.

Another legend is that the daughter of [[Chirakkal Raja|Chirakkal]] [[Raja]] began to drown while bathing in the Chirakkal kulam (pond). Her friends cried and shouted but were unable to rescue her. Muhammad Ali heard the shouting and came to find out what was wrong. He recognized the girl drowning in the pond as the princess, but was hesitant about saving her because of untouchability and if a lower-caste person touched an upper-caste person it was considered a sin, possibly punishable by death. However, he rescued her and gave her his dhoti to cover the princess. When the news reached the Chirakkal Raja, he called his daughter and Muhammad Ali. At that time, if a man gave a ''[[pudava]]'' (a long cloth used for covering the body) to an unmarried woman, they were considered married. The scholars of the court told the Raja that since his daughter was touched by a [[Muslim]], she was no longer allowed to enter the palace. However, the man had given her his pudava so she was married to him as well. As per the custom the Raja had no other choice but to give his daughter to Muhammad Ali. The area given to Muhammad Ali was known as Arakkal and his family was called the Arakkal family((citation needed|date=April 2018)).

The British Military was very eager to make [[Dharmadam]] as their base and built a fort there. This small island village was strategically more secure than any surrounding place as it is a hilly island, however, it was governed by Arakkal kingdom, being the first Ali Raja's hometown. Arakkal kingdom was so powerful at that time as an ally of [[Mysore]], even to defy the British. British East India Company was not allowed by the Arakkal kingdom to build a military garrison in Dharmadam. So they were forced to build their base in [[Thalassery]] where there was a strong presence of French forces stationed few kilometers away in [[Mahé, India|Mahé]].<ref name="Logan"/>

==Location==
The palace is three kilometers from Kannur, [[Kerala]], India, in what is now called [[Kannur town]]. The Arakkal family was the only Muslim royal family in Kerala.

Thus history of Muslims in Kerala is closely intertwined with the history of Muslims in the nearby [[Laccadives]] islands.  Kerala's only Muslim kingdom was Kannur's Arakkal family.  Historians however, disagree about the time period of Arakkal rulers.  They see the Arakkal kings come to power in the 16th or 17th century.

By 1909, Arakkal rulers had lost Kannur and the Cannanore Cantonment. By 1911, there was a further decline with the loss of ''chenkol'' (sceptre) and ''udaval'' (sword).<ref>Kerala Source Book. India, Cruz Consultants for Kerala NRI Association, 2003. p25.</ref> They allied and clashed with the [[Portugal|Portuguese]], the Dutch, the French and the British.  The British played the biggest part in removing all vestiges of titles and power from the Arakkal rulers.  One of the last kings, [[Abdu Rahiman Ali Raja]] (1881–1946), was active in helping his subjects.  The last ruler was [[Ali Raja Mariumma Beevi Thangal]]. After her rule, the family broke up.

During the time of the [[Samuthiries]] the Muslims of Kerala played a major role in the local army and [[navy]], as well as acting as ambassadors to Arabia and China. Even before this period they had settlements in Perumathura, Thakkala, Thengapattanam, Poovar and Thiruvankottu. Muslims from ''Pandi Desham'' migrated to trade with [[Aruvithura]], [[Kanjirappalli]], [[Mundakayam]], [[Peruvanthanam]], [[Muvattupuzha]] and [[Vandiperiyar]] in and around [[Kottayam|Kottayam district]] of Kerala.  In the 17th century, trade links were established with places like [[Kayamkulam]] and [[Alappuzha]] in the west. It was during the time of [[Zamorin|Samuthiris]] that the title of ''Marakkar'' was created. Muslim influence reached its peak at the time of [[Kunjali Marakkar]], the fourth in the line.

===Thalassocracy in the Arabian Sea===
The Arakkal Ali Rajas sure put their navy to good use. Ali Moossa, the fifth ruler is said to have conquered some of the Maladweep (Maldives) islands in 1183-84 CE. Generally, these Rajas were known by different titles, viz. Adi Raja (the first king), Azhi Raja (Lord of the seas), Aliraja (noble king), and Aali Raja, which shows the origin from the first king Mammali. The connection with the Maldives and Lakshadweep (Laccadives) was well-known to the Portuguese and other Europeans, with the 9° channel separating Minicoy from the Laccadive group being referred to as the 'Mammali’s Channel'. Even during the beginning of the 16th century, the king of Maldives was a tributary of this House. The Jagir of Laccadive islands, received by the Ali Rajas from Kolathiris in the 16th century, enhanced the status of the House.<ref name="Ali Rajas of Cannanore">((cite journal |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44138504 |last=Kurup |first=KKN |title=Ali Rajas of Cannanore, English East India Company and Laccadive Islands |date=1970 |journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress |volume=32 |pages=44–53 |jstor=44138504 |access-date=12 January 2024))</ref> Kannur (Cannanore) could effectively be characterised as a Muslim thalassocracy, acknowledging that the religious identity of the Ali Rajas had a significant role in their political prominence. A link can be made of the income from importing horses from West Asia to the political power of the Ali Rajas throughout the sixteenth century.<ref>((cite book|title=Monsoon Islam: Trade and Faith on the Medieval Malabar Coast|first=Sebastian|last=Prange))</ref>

[[File:Thalassocracy of Arakkal.gif|600px|thumb|Arakkal Thalassocracy in the Arabian Sea.]]

===Relations with the Kingdom of Mysore===
After being appointed the Naval Chief of Hyder Ali's army, Ali Raja Kunhi Amsa II's first course of action was to capture the unfortunate [[Sultan of the Maldives]] [[Hasan 'Izz ud-din]] and present him to Hyder Ali after having gouged out his eyes, he had also defeated Sultan Muhammad Imaduddin III of the [[Maldives]], who died in captivity.<ref>((cite book|title=Malabar Manual|volume=1|first=William|last=Logan|page=408))</ref>

==Foreign relations of the Arakkal==
In the year 1777 a letter was sent to the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] by Ali Raja Kunhi Amsa II, a dedicated ally of [[Hyder Ali]] of the [[Sultanate of Mysore]] and mentioned how the region received Ottoman assistance two hundred and forty years ago by [[Hadim Suleiman Pasha]]. Ali Raja Kunhi Amsa II also stated that the dynasty had been fighting for its authority for the last forty years against various hostile forces and also requested assistance against the [[British East India Company]], two years later in 1780 another letter was sent by his sister Ali Raja Bibi Junumabe II requesting urgent assistance against [[Portugal|Portuguese]] and [[British Empire|British]] encroachments during the [[Second Anglo-Mysore War]].<ref>((cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s04pus5jBNwC&q=tipu+sultan+and+ottoman&pg=PA11 |title = Pan-Islamism: Indian Muslims, the Ottomans and Britain, 1877-1924|isbn = 9004106324|last1 = Özcan|first1 = Azmi|year = 1997| publisher=BRILL ))</ref>

==Arakkal Museum==
[[File:Arakkal.JPG|thumb|top|right|Arakkal Museum]]
((Main|Arakkal Museum))

The [[Durbar (court)|Durbar Hall]] section of the ''Arakkalkettu'' (Arakkal Palace) has been converted into a museum housing artifacts from the times of the Arakkal dynasty. The work was carried out by the [[Government of Kerala]] at a cost of [[Indian Rupee|Rs]]. 9,000,000. The museum opened in July 2005.

The ''Arakkalkettu'' is owned by the Arakkal Trust, which includes some members Arakkal royal family. The government had taken a keen interest in preserving the heritage of the Arakkal Family, which had played a prominent role in the history of [[Malabar (Northern Kerala)|Malabar]].  A nominal entry fee is charged by the Arakkal Trust.
