Namboodiripad and P. Krishna Pillai playing instrumental roles. 2. The entire leadership of the Kerala CSP formally transitioned into the Communist Party of India in December 1939 aligning with the anti-imperialist international line. 3. The Kayyur peasant struggle of 1943 in North Malabar was a heroic anti-feudal uprising against oppressive landlord exactions and police repression resulting in the execution of four young communist peasants. Which of the statements given above are correct?

D. 1, 2 and 3✓ Correct Answer
💡 Solution & Explanation
All three statements are entirely accurate reflecting the historical consolidation of socialist and communist forces in Kerala. The Kerala CSP unit decisively shifted towards Marxism-Leninism by late 1939. The Kayyur uprising stands as a legendary milestone of peasant resistance in Malabar where four comrades faced martyrdom under colonial judicial orders. These movements fundamentally transformed agrarian relations in the region.
