Let's Tell the Story of Mujarida is a compelling historical narrative dedicated to the village of Mujarida and its people — a community whose rich heritage, struggles, and cultural contributions have gone largely unrecorded. Published by Mujarida Publications and released on October 24, 2022 at Kottakkal by Panchayat President P.V. Usman.
Jafar Erattupetta approaches this work with the same passion and rigor that characterize all his writings. Through interviews with village elders, study of land records, mosque documents, and family genealogies, he pieces together a vibrant tapestry of a community's life across centuries.
The title itself — 'Let's Tell the Story' — encapsulates Jafar's philosophy: that the stories of ordinary communities deserve to be told with the same care and dignity accorded to kings and conquerors.
The book serves not only as a historical record but as a community resource, helping younger generations of Mujarida-origin families connect with their roots whether they live in Kerala or abroad.
