Kochuthfe§§ia7—§iM. Cochin 682 022 12-10-1994 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Once the topic "Women and Political Change in Kerala since Independence" was selected for the study, I received a lot of encouragement from many men and women who'are genuinely concerned about the results (M5 gender discrimination. As their supportive presence has gone a long way in the completion of my thesis I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to them right at the outset. It was Dr.N.Parameswaran Nair, my first guide who revealed to me the true and correct dimensions of the issues involved in the problem of the study. The clarity of his vision and the logic of his thinking have always helped me very much to be in the right path of searching and researching. He opened my eyes to many things which I thought I knew and felt I should have known but I did not. I owe a big debt to him for his unerring guidance all along my work. But unfortunately he could not guide me till the end of my study because of his unusually heavy schedule. Hence I was constrained to seek the help of another suitable guide. Luckily, Dr.J.T.Payyappilly readily and wholeheartedly expressed his consent to be my guide. The successful completion of my study was only because of his able guidance and constructive suggestions. I acknowledge with deep gratitude his unstinted help and wholehearted co-operation. I must also acknowledge my indebtedness to Pxc£.P.R.Poduval: the Director CM? School of Management Studies, Cochin University, for his great academic concern for me, the timely help extended and the fruitful suggestions offered to make my study meaningful. iii I would like to pdace (N1 record, my pmofound gratitude to Sri.Radhakrishnan, 12., for rug; humane approach enui moral support without which this topic would never be. I extend my sincere gratitude to Dr.Sr.Chrisologa, Principal, Vimala College, Thrissur-9, for her persistent inspiration, constant encouragement and loving support which she gave in ample measure 0 I am happy to record my thanks to my religious superiors and sisters of the community who allowed me to pursue this study. My thanks are due to, Prof.A.P.Sarada who reviewed the manuscript thoroughly and patiently, and offered accurate and extensive comments the Librarians and Staff members of Kerala Legislature Library, Thiruvananthapuram University Library, Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram Public Library, Thiruvananthapuram Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram Sri.Babu Kariat K., for his diligent and careful typing of the manuscript to all those who have been especially with me in this journey. iv Above all I kxmv to My (Rxl, who tun} been reminding xmz, time and again that "Unless the Lord builds the house those who build it, labour in vain" (Ps.l26:l). so the Lord has built it, and in His infinite blessing and fatherly care, here I present this doctoral thesis for the glory of God and the service of humanity with thanks to one and all!

  • Extrimist Movement in Kerala During the Struggle for Responsible Government
    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.

  • Re-Appraising Taxation in Travancore and It's Caste Interference
    GIS Business ISSN: 1430-3663 Vol-14-Issue-3-May-June-2019 Re-Appraising Taxation in Travancore and It's Caste Interference REVATHY V S Research Scholar Department Of History University Of Kerala [email protected] 8281589143 Travancore , one of the Princely States in British India and later became the Model State in British India carried a significant role in history when analysing its system of taxation. Tax is one of the chief means for acquiring revenue and wealth. In the modern sense, tax means an amount of money imposed by a government on its citizens to run a state or government. But the system of taxation in the Native States of Travancore had an unequal character or discriminatory character and which was bound up with the caste system. In the case of Travancore and its society, the so called caste system brings artificial boundaries in the society.1 The taxation in Travancore is mainly derived through direct tax, indirect tax, commercial tax and taxes in connection with the specific services. The system of taxation adopted by the Travancore Royal Family was oppressive and which was adversely affected to the lower castes, women and common people. It is proven that the system of taxation used by the Royal Family as a tool for oppression and subjugation and they also used this P a g e | 207 Copyright ⓒ 2019 Authors GIS Business ISSN: 1430-3663 Vol-14-Issue-3-May-June-2019 discriminatorytaxation policies as of the ardent machinery to establish their political domination and establishing their cultural hegemony. Through the analysis and study of taxation in Travancore it is helpful to reconstruct the socio-economic , political and cultural conditions of Travancore.

  • Dress As a Tool of Empowerment : the Channar Revolt
    Dress as a tool of Empowerment : The Channar Revolt Keerthana Santhosh Assistant Professor (Part time Research Scholar – Reg. No. 19122211082008) Department of History St. Mary’s College, Thoothukudi (Manonmanium Sundaranar sUniversity, Tirunelveli) Abstract Empowerment simply means strengthening of women. Travancore, an erstwhile princely state of modern Kerala was considered as a land of enlightened rulers. In the realm of women, condition of Travancore was not an exception. Women were considered as a weaker section and were brutally tortured.Patriarchy was the rule of the land. Many agitations occurred in Travancore for the upliftment of women. The most important among them was the Channar revolt, which revolves around women’s right to wear dress. The present paper analyses the significance of Channar Revolt in the then Kerala society. Keywords: Channar, Mulakkaram, Kuppayam 53 | P a g e Dress as a tool of Empowerment : The Channar Revolt Kerala is considered as the God’s own country. In the realm of human development, it leads India. Regarding women empowerment also, Kerala is a model. In women education, health indices etc. there are no parallels. But everything was not better in pre-modern Kerala. Women suffered a lot of issues. Even the right to dress properly was neglected to the women folk of Kerala. So what Kerala women had achieved today is a result of their continuous struggles. Women in Travancore, which was an erstwhile princely state of Kerala, irrespective of their caste and community suffered a lot of problems. The most pathetic thing was the issue of dress. Women of lower castes were not given the right to wear dress above their waist.

    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.
