Vol. 5 No. 4 April 2018 ISSN: 2321-788X UGC Approval No: 43960 Impact Factor: 3.025 EXTRIMIST MOVEMENT IN KERALA DURING THE STRUGGLE FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT Article Particulars: Received: 13.03.2018 Accepted: 31.03.2018 Published: 28.04.2018 R.T. ANJANA Research Scholar of History, University of Kerala, India Abstract Modern Travancore witnessed strong protests for civic amenities and representation in legislatures through the Civic Rights movement and Abstention movement during 1920s and early part of 1930s. Government was forced to concede reforms of far reaching nature by which representations were given to many communities in the election of 1937 and for recruitment a public service commission was constituted. But the 1937 election and the constitution of the Public Service Commission did not solve the question of adequate representation. A new struggle was started for the attainment of responsible government in Travancore which was even though led in peaceful means in the beginning, assumed extremist nature with the involvement of youthful section of the society. The participants of the struggle from the beginning to end directed their energies against a single individual, the Travancore Dewan Sir. C. P. Ramaswamy Iyer who has been considered as an autocrat and a blood thirsty tyrant On the other side the policies of the Dewan intensified the issues rather than solving it. His policy was dividing and rule, using the internal social divisions existed in Travancore to his own advantage. Keywords: civic amenities, Civic Rights, Public Service Commission, Travancore, Civil Liberties Union, State Congress In Travancore the demand for responsible government was not a new development. -

M. R Ry. K. R. Krishna Menon, Avargal, Retired Sub-Judge, Walluvanad Taluk
MARUMAKKATHAYAM MARRIAGE COMMISSION. ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES BY M. R RY. K. R. KRISHNA MENON, AVARGAL, RETIRED SUB-JUDGE, WALLUVANAD TALUK. 1. Amongst Nayars and other high caste people, a man of the higher divi sion can have Sambandham with a woman of a lower division. 2, 3, 4 and 5. According to the original institutes of Malabar, Nayars are divided into 18 sects, between whom, except in the last 2, intermarriage was per missible ; and this custom is still found to exist, to a certain extent, both in Travan core and Cochin, This rule has however been varied by custom in British Mala bar, in Avhich a woman of a higher sect is not now permitted to form Sambandham with a man of a lower one. This however will not justify her total excommuni cation from her caste in a religious point of view, but will subject her to some social disabilities, which can be removed by her abandoning the sambandham, and paying a certain fine to the Enangans, or caste-people. The disabilities are the non-invitation of her to feasts and other social gatherings. But she cannot be prevented from entering the pagoda, from bathing in the tank, or touch ing the well &c. A Sambandham originally bad, cannot be validated by a Prayaschitham. In fact, Prayaschitham implies the expiation of sin, which can be incurred only by the violation of a religious rule. Here the rule violated is purely a social one, and not a religious one, and consequently Prayaschitham is altogether out of the place. The restriction is purely the creature of class pride, and this has been carried to such an extent as to pre vent the Sambandham of a woman with a man of her own class, among certain aristocratic families. -

Theatre Criticism in Malayalam K
Theatre Criticism in Malayalam K. AYYA PPA PAN!KER 1. Theatre Tradition in Keroia heatre criticism in Kerala probably dates back to the comments On Meypadu in Tolkappiyam in the pan-Dravidian days, long before Malayalam evolved as a lan T guage (12th century). To what extent these were influenced by similar treatises like Bbarata' s Nii fJasastra is not clear. The continuity of the Kutiyauam presentationsof Sanskrit plays is some evidence of the early preoccupations of Keralites with dramaturgy. It is even argued that Abhinavagupta's Abhinavabhiirati is conceived in the form of answers to questions raised by theatre workers from Keral a who went to Kashmir to seek clarifications from the great savant. The attaprakarams (stage manuals) and kram adipikas (production manuals) of Kiiuyartam are an indica tion of self- awareness on the pan of actors and trainers pfactors. Theatre criticism is internalized in these manuals and the oral tradition of criticism must have contributed to the growth of this self- awareness. Perhaps the earliest of available texts on Kerala stage and theatre is Biilariimabharatam , an 18th cent ury treatise in Sanskrit writte n by Kartika TirunalBalararna Vanna Maharaja of Travancore. It is an attempt to describe ~e !ec~ue .s .pf stage presentation in the IOUry atrika style used in Kerala.,Tbough basically inspired by Bharata's Naryasjjstra, it con- . tains - many concepts deviating from the original.

Chapter Iv Traces of Historical Facts From
CHAPTER IV TRACES OF HISTORICAL FACTS FROM SANDESAKAVYAS & SHORT POEMS Sandesakavyas occupy an eminent place among the lyrics in Sanskrit literature. Though Valmiki paved the way in the initial stage it was Kalidasa who developed it into a perfect form of poetic literature. Meghasandesa, the unique work of Kalidasa, was re- ceived with such enthusiasam that attempts were made to emulate it all over India. As result there arose a significant branch of lyric literature in Sanskrit. Kerala it perhaps the only region which produced numerous works of real merit in this field. The literature of Kerala is full of poems of the Sandesa type. Literature can be made use of to yield information about the social history of a land and is often one of the main sources for reconstructing the ancient social customs and manners of the respective periods. History as a separate study has not been seriously treated in Sanskrit literature. Apart form literary merits, the Sanskrit literature of Kerala contains several historical accounts of the country with the exception of a few historical Kavyas, it is the Sandesakavyas that give us some historical details. Among the Sanskrit works, the Sandesa Kavya branch stands in a better position in this field (matter)Since it contains a good deal of historical materials through the description of the routes to be followed by the messengers in the Sandesakavyas. The Sandesakavyas play an impor- tant role in depicting the social history of their ages. The keralate Sandesakavyas are noteworthy because of the geographical, historical, social and cultural information they supply about the land. -

Impact of Vaikom and Suchidram Satyagrahas in Travancore- an Historical Overview
IMPACT OF VAIKOM AND SUCHIDRAM SATYAGRAHAS IN TRAVANCORE- AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Dr. PRAVEEN. O.K Assistant professor, Department of History, SREE KERALA VARMA COLLE, THRISSUR, KERALA, INDIA. ABSTRACT The chief social evil in Travancore, as elsewhere in India, was caste. Though the traditional caste system was not in vogue in Travancore, the Brahmins held the highest place in society. And owners of all land in the country they depended upon the Nairs for the proper management of of the land. The Nairs grew into a warrior class protecting the interests of the Brahmins to form the upper class. The Ezhavas or Tiyas, the Nadars, the pulayas and the parayas were the low caste. These low castes were subjected to glaring disabilities on account of the peculiar social customs which were very strictly followed in Travancore. The treatment which the untouchables received at the hands of the caste Hindus from time immemorial was unsympathetic and even inhuman. Broadly speaking the people of Travancore divided into Avarnas and Savarnas. The avarnas were low castes such as the Adidravidians, Alvans, Aryans, Baratars, Chakaravars, Ezhavas, Kaniyans, Kuravans, Nadars, panas, pulayas, parayas, velan, vedann etc. KEY WORDS: TRAVANCORE, SATYAGRAHA, TEMPLE, VAIKOM SATYAGRHA, SUCHIDRAM SATYAGRHA, TEMPLE ENTRY PROCLAMATION INTRODUCTION They were strictly prohibited from entering into the temples and using public wells, tanks and chatrams (rest houses). Equal opportunity of education and employment was denied to the Avarnas. Unapprochability was also very severe in Travancore. Francis Day says that, Ilava (Ezhava) must keep 36 paces from Brahmin and 12 from a Nayar while a Kaniyan would pollute a Nambudiri Brahmin at 24 ft., 96 paces as the4 distance for a Pulayan from Nair. -
