  • 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.
