Kurroolli Chekon, known as Kadathanadan Simham, was a Thiyyar warrior lived in the 19th century in Vadakara(1869-1913), North Malabar who fought against the oppression by the British Government and Kadathanad Raja . Vaniyakuruvalli Kunjichekon, also known as Vaniyakuruvalli Kunjichekon, was a valiant college student and farmer who fought valiantly against the barbaric culture, cronyism and cruelty of the colonized region of Vadathanara in Kozhikode district about 100 years ago. Apart from caste and religion, Kuruli Chekon, a close friend and adored man of the Thiyars, Mappilas, kurichyas, poor Nairs and all other peoples, became the target of the King of Kadathanad and the noble chiefs.

An attempt was later made by the British police and the courts to fabricate a case against Cheko after the serial killers sent by Madambi to assassinate him failed repeatedly. Chekhon, who had faith in the British court, cooperated with the case and firmly believed that the court would be convinced of the truth and acquitted because it was a false case. However, as soon as the verdict was read out in court, Chekon managed to escape, as the smuggling king and his accomplices had produced a number of false witnesses against Chekhov. It was during this time of hiding that Chekhov grew into a popular hero. Chekon grows in the hearts of the people as a divine character who is the last word for resolving disputes in the country and an invincible force to save those who are suffering and persecuted. History has it that after the magistrate sentenced Cheko to life imprisonment, he wanted to meet Cheko in person and became a Sarasana and talkative Tamil Brahmin cloth seller. With just a few months to go before Chekon's sentence expires, the governor kills his best friends, Kurichi, with a treacherous gun and a poisoned arrow. The story of this legendary hero, who was obsessed with golden interests, has been written and published by Sri Vishnu Mangalam Kumar, a journalist from Bangalore with the sincerity of a truth seeker. Kuruli Chekwan - Kairali Books in Kannur has released this book as an illustrated book titled Kadathanadan Simham. Collected oral folk song about Kuruli Chekon describing the popular exile and end of Chekon among the Kurichis.^[1][2][3][4]
