Vakkom Abdul Khader | Bhagat Singh of South India

Set against the chaos of the Second World War, this documentary tells the forgotten story of Vakkom Abdul Khader—hailed as the Bhagat Singh of South.
A follower of Subhash Chandra Bose and a soldier of INA, Khader after getting training in Malaya returned to India with a mission to spark rebellion against the British Empire. But before his dream could take shape, he was captured, tortured, and secretly hanged on 10th September 1943.
Today, on his death anniversary, when the patriotism of Indian Muslims is unfairly questioned, Khader’s sacrifice feels more urgent than ever. His story—long buried in silence—must be remembered.
Disclaimer: This documentary has used creative liberty to re-imagine some events of Khader's life through AI, which may not be historically accurate.
