Veerasmrithikal — 'Memories of the Brave' — is a heartfelt tribute to the unsung heroes of the Malabar resistance movements, published by Olive Publications. A carefully curated collection of biographical sketches, personal testimonies, and commemorative essays honouring individuals whose courage and sacrifice shaped Malabar's history but whose names have faded from public memory.
Jafar Erattupetta has always been driven by a sense of justice toward historical figures who gave everything to their communities and causes but received little recognition. Veerasmrithikal is his most direct expression of this commitment — a roll of honour for Malabar's brave men and women.
The book profiles rebels, freedom fighters, scholars, community organisers, and ordinary citizens who made extraordinary choices. Each profile is grounded in careful research and enriched with family photographs, eyewitness accounts, and archival material.
Adopted by schools and colleges in Malappuram and Kottayam districts as supplementary reading material, it has also inspired several community organisations to establish annual memorial events.
