APPENDIX IV Proceedings of the conference at Calicut presided over by the Zamorin Maharaja.

VI. That the conference views with indignation and sorrow the attempts made in various quarters by interested parties to ignore or minimise the crimes committed by the rebels such as

a. Brutally dishonouring women;

b. Flaying people alive;

c. Wholesale slaughter of men, women and children;

d. Burning alive entire families;

e. Forcibly converting people in thousands and slaying those who refused to get converted;

f. Throwing half dead people into wells and leaving the victims for hours to struggle for escape till finally released from their sufferings by death; g. Burning a great many and looting practically all Hindu and Christian houses in the disturbed area in which even Moplah women and children took part, and robbing women of even the garments on their bodies, in short reducing the whole non-muslim population to abject destitution;

h. Cruelly insulting the religious sentiments of the Hindus by desecrating and destroying numerous temples in the disturbed area, killing cows within the temple precincts putting their entrails on the holy image and hanging the skulls on the walls and roofs.
