Kerala Government will organise the centenary celebrations of the Vaikom Satyagraha
Vaikom Satyagraha (1924-25) was a movement in Travancore (modern-day Kerala) for temple entry of the depressed classes. It took place near the Shiva Temple at Vaikom, Kottayam district, Kerala.
Issue: The protest was against the caste-based discrimination prevalent in Kerala and the rest of India, where lower-caste Hindus were not allowed to enter temples, and roads leading to temples were banned from them.
Leaders: K. Kelappan, T K Madhavan, Velayudha Menon, K Neelakantan Namboothiri, and T R Krishnaswami Iyer
