VAIKOM SATYAGRAHA:
Vaikom Satyagraha rose from the ashes of Non-Cooperation movement(1920-22).
It was a socio-religious movement started in Vaikom (Travancore-present day Kerala) against the upper class Hindus.
In Kerala and the rest of India, untouchables were not allowed to enter the temples. Also they were forbidden to walk on the roads that led to the temples.
Vaikom Satyagraha was the temple entry movement for the depressed classes.
T.K.Madhavan, a prominent social reformer and the editor of Deshabhimani, a Malayalam newspaper, was the original architect behind the Vaikom Satyagraha.
He moved the resolution to the Kakinada session of the INC in 1923,citing discrimination against the depressed castes.
Movement started on 30th march, 1924.Batches from the depressed communities barged into the Shiva shrine in Vaikom.
