The 'Malayali Memorial' submitted to the Maharaja of Travancore in 1891 was chiefly drafted and organized under the leadership of whom among the following?
A. K. Kelappan
B. G. Parameswaran Pillai✓ Correct Answer
C. C. Kesavan
D. T.K. Madhavan
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Malayali Memorial of 1891 was organized and championed by G. Parameswaran Pillai to protest the domination of Travancore state administration by outsiders and demand equal employment for qualified local natives. Later leaders like K. Kelappan and C. Kesavan spearheaded subsequent social reform and temple entry movements rather than this specific administrative petition. State civil service examinations regularly highlight this memorandum as an early milestone of modern political consciousness in southern India.
