History: Beary is a Muslim ethnic community originated from the coastal part of the state of Karnataka in India. It is believed that around 1350 years ago the Arab Traders the now called Bearys came to India and adopted the culture of Tulu nadu and settled in the coastal part of Karnataka. People of Tulunadu got attracted to the teaching of Islam and accepted the religion and converted themselves by their own will. Also it is learnt that the Arab traders at that time got married to the local women, settled in Tulunadu and started civilization in that part of the world. The first missionaries traced are the one built by Malik Bin Deenar an Arab trader said to be the kith and kin of Sahaba (companion of Prophet Mohammed) pbuh. He was said to have visited Malabar and visited Manjeshwar and constructed the first mosque called Malik Dinar Mosque. Also the Masjid Zeenath Baksh known as Jumma Masjid or ‘Beliye Palli’ in Bunder is said to be established in Mangalore by Habib bin Malik in 644 AD and the first Qazi appointed was Hazarath Moosa bin Malik son of Malik Bin Abdallah. This mosque was inaugurated on Friday the 22nd of the month of Jumadil Awwal (fifth month of Islamic calendar) in 22nd of Hijri (644 AD). There is still a proof that Islam was prevelant in South India before the invasion in North India by Allaudin Khilji in the year 1296 AD. Another important thing to remember is that Ullala’s Raani Abbakka during her reign had appointed specially Bearys for contraction of a dam at Malali. And the Portuguese lost their dominance during the rule of Hyder Ali & Tippu Sultan in Mysore and Beary Muslims received royal patronage during this time. It is commendable that Bearys in huge numbers participated in India’s freedom struggle and have even lost their lives in this struggle for independence against invasion by both Portugal and British. Bearys have their own language which is adopted from the place of their dwelling. In north Karnataka they speak a mixture of Konkani & Maapilla called ‘Nawayaths’ while in south Karnataka they speak a mixture of Tulu & Malayalam called ‘Mapilla Malyalam or Mangalore Malayalam’. However there are some words influenced by Arabic like Saan, Pinhana, Gubbusu, Dabbusu, Pattir, Rakkasi, Seintaan etc. Bearys have brought out numerous lyrics and songs in Beary Baasha. They have their own ghazals called Mapilla Paats. Unfortunately modern beary do not know their own folk songs sung by their ancestors. Several beary folk games also vanished with time. The first beary film was produced by B.S. Gangadhara in October 2008 which was written & directed by Rahim Uchil along with Prakash Padubidri. The music was composed by Ravindra Prabhu.
