Hundred years on, remembering the Vaikom Satyagraha | The Hindu

- Опубліковано 22 жов 2024
- Precisely a century ago, Kerala’s Vaikom town which was then in the princely state of Travancore became the epicentre of a historic non-violent movement against untouchability and caste discrimination.
Vaikom Satyagraha that lasted for 604 days (20 months) from March 30, 1924 to November 23, 1925 marked the dawn of temple entry movements across India.
It was led by visionary leaders like T.K. Madhavan, K.P. Kesava Menon, and K. Kelappan. The Satyagraha attracted national attention and many prominent leaders came to participate in the protest, including Periyar, who came to Vaikom at the request of barrister George Joseph, who had already been jailed for leading the movement.
The movement gained more power when Mahatma Gandhi reached Vaikom on March 1925 and held discussions with leaders of various caste groups.
This video looks back at the events that unfolded.

I love this channel because there is no unnecessary repetition of information, absolutely no wastage of time and most importantly..no lightning thunder shakalaka boom boom music.
"The Hindu" channel didn't post full information. They just projected Tamilians who participated in Vaikom Satyahraha. They didn't even mention about the famous reformer Sree Narayana Guru who had a major role in this Satyagraha, but they projected about the Tamilians involved. Sree Narayana Guru had a meeting with Mahatma Gandhi when Gandhiji came to Vaikom and that meeting is very famous.
Thus people saying, caste system was structured by British, should see this. This is how sanadan darma treated people
'The Hindus have their social yewils. But there is this relieving feature about them-namely, that some of them are conscious of their existence and a few of them are actively agitating for their removal. The Muslims, on the other hand, do not realize their social yewils and consequently do not agitate for their removal. Indeed, they oppose any change in their existing practices. Muslims have all the social yewils of the Hindus and something more. That something more is the compulsory system of purdah which deprives Muslim women of physical,mental and moral nourishment. These burka women walking in the streets is one of the most hideous sights one can witness in India.: Dr.BR Ambedkar.(1945CE)

Me being from "lower" caste.
I wont say Hinduism is the problem here.
It is the social structure creation by upper caste people who manipulated everything for their benefit...
India didn't have a "caste" system, to begin with. Caste is a Portuguese word.
India only had varna system.
In Christian europe, the situation of lower classes was much worse than it was in India.
@@mlg1279 so u r saying, india has no caste system. Everyone is allowed to walk on the upper caste street. During pashwa rule in maharashtra there is no need for the dalit people to walk with broom to clean their footprint as they walk. In thirvananthapuram kingdom the Elava caste wome were allowed to wear shoulder cloth to cover their breast. In madurai and kaluthi in TN, nadar caste people were allowed to enter the temple, they just protested there just for fun.
Ok the work caste is Portuguese work, that's doesn't explain caste oriented here.
How come u r so damp say, caste is not their in india
Everyone should follow the roots of Periyar, people from various groups and social activists groups came together to fight for social equality.
Thank you The Hindu team for sharing this informative assignment 🎉
Periyar Forever! ✊🖤
periyar belongs to mental asylum: Nehru
@@desistarktm7270as nehru was a typical brhamin.
@@meghanath5045 hahaha but your lot adores him a lot.
Lol! The person who twisted hindu epics for his preaching? I am myself coming from ezhava community- Sree narayana guru made temple for us to worship , taught hinduism fought for us. It was against caste system not against hinduism - But the situation was so worse that no one could fight against caste system without bringing hinduism. I am glad that I was born in background like this - It give me more clear picture of woke jai bheem and people like periyar.
@Aishwarya Prakash "made temple for us to worship" As in separate temple? Asking just to clarify.
My Mom's home is in Vaikom. We go there once in a month. It's a beautiful place.
பெரிய அளிவு வெள்ளம் வந்தப்பவும் போராட்டம் நடந்திருக்க வைக்கம் வீரர் ஆளையே காணோம் 😮
Unfortunately caste is a scourge of India. People get treated differently based on their caste. This prejudice against different castes especially brahmins and non brahmins gets exported abroad.
It is indeed painful to realise political democracy has been reduced to ‘communal majority’! Being from Karnataka and I have never been able to resolve this mystery behind the ideological disparities we have with our immediate neighbours of TN, Kerala why do we not have strong regional parties like them? Am I the only one who is bothered by this?
One man, one name - Periyar.
Tonnes of respect and paying tribute to Periyar...........
Great ❤
"Caste is a state of mind, it is a disease of mind" ~ Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
Ambedkar has no role 😂
@@ArK-pu6hnlawde you fking have no role here.
Everyone knows his role!!
Thanks to the Hero's and The Hindu for showing the brutal history which teaches how to balance the power
No brutality
Periyar was anti hindu anti brahmin. This was by narayana guru. Ramasamy can't take credit
@@srutisukumar8609 No care, at that time Periyar was compulsory for the eradication of brahmin domince from South.
Periyar and his ideology is only responsible for the eradication of brahmin domince
Periyar 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent explanation thanks ❤❤
How you guys ignored sree narayana guru contribution?
Do not hide that upper caste who started this, order also come out from an upper caste
Lala Singh and Akalis came from Punjab they gave free food
1923 அப்போ AIC ல பெரிய லெவல் போராட்டம் வேணாம்னு சொல்லிருக்கார் மகாத்மா
சுயமரியாதை இயக்கம் வேற ஒருத்தர் ஆரம்பிச்சது குருகூல பிரச்சனை அப்புறம் காங்கிரஸ் விட்டு வெளிய வந்து அதுக்கும் தலைமை வகிச்சாரு ஆரம்பிக்கல 😋
Gandhi diluted the protest
March 30 started 😅
பெரியார் இல்லையா ஆரம்பிக்கும் போது 😮
Right because cpim is doing such a good job of running the state 😂😂😂
But god?😮
Banfit 😮
மதராஸ் மாநில காங்கிரஸ் கமிட்டி தலைவர் அப்படின்ற முறையில அழைப்பு விடுத்தாங்க அதை சொல்லுங்கடா
The countries and the places where Christians and muslims live as neighbors - remain for centuries till today no more than Vast Burial Grounds - burying daily and constant supply of Dead Bodies.
If this is History then Kashmir files also History. If this is propaganda then Kashmir files is also a propaganda..
Aree gawar north indian this moment took in 1924 .
it is not a propaganda. it is fight for equal rights and emancipation of lower caste.
kashmir file is half baked truth. and kerala story is total propaganda.
gandhi was stalwart to bring hinduism to its originality but communal RSS/ BJP took over his idea and presented gandhi as threat.
Gandhi always believed in humanism that can be traced to sanatan dharma as adi shankracharya said but RSS highjacked it to forward its political agenda.
Manipuri files is also a history
The essential difference between inequalities in Hinduism and Abrahamic faiths is - as far reformations in Hinduism even non-hindu stray dogs can enter Univited and suggest and enforce reforms.
That is how the Hindu is also held on high pedestal. By Univited stray dogs.
stray dogs always bark and make noise, but reality never subsides.
hail to Gandhi , hail to Periyyar.
