The 1915 Kelantan Rebellion: To' Janggut's Last Stand

In April 1915, a religious teacher and former soldier named To' Janggut led a rebellion in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, against British-backed taxation and land reforms. The uprising drew on deep rural grievances, Islamic millenarianism, and resistance to Siamese and British encroachment. This episode examines the rebellion's leader, its brutal suppression by the Malay States Guides, and its legacy in Malay nationalism. We also explore the controversial role of Sultan Muhammad IV and the British adviser W.A. Graham, and how the rebellion foreshadowed later anti-colonial struggles.
