The Zamorin Who Stayed Royal at Heart

Once upon a time in a land called Malabar, there was a powerful ruler known as the Zamorin of Calicut. He was the king of the land and ruled over the people. But one day, some British people came to Malabar and everything changed for the Zamorin. The British people had a big war with the ruler of Malabar, and they won. They took over the land and the Zamorin lost his power. He was no longer the king, and he had to listen to what the British people said. At first, the British made an agreement with the Zamorin to collect money from the people in Malabar. But then they decided to give the Zamorin some money instead. This money was called a pension. The Zamorin was still called the Zamorin of Calicut, but he couldn't be the king anymore. Some people in the Zamorin's family didn't like this. They didn't want to listen to the British people. They tried to fight back, but the British people were too strong. They had to agree to live peacefully and get a pension too.

Even though the Zamorin lost his power, he still had a lot of land and was very important in Malabar. His family was still respected, and they had a lot of land. They were allowed to live in Calicut and its suburbs. So, even though the Zamorin was not the king anymore, he was still important and respected in Malabar. And the British people made sure he had enough money to live on. So, the Zamorin and his family lived happily, even though things had changed a lot. And that's the story of the Zamorin of Calicut and how he became a respected leader, even without being a king. The end.
