Who among the following nationalist leaders led the heroic Guruvayur Satyagraha of 1931 and undertook a historic fast unto death to secure temple entry for all Hindus?

💡 Solution & Explanation

K. Kelappan led the epic Guruvayur Satyagraha launched in 1931 demanding temple entry rights for untouchable communities, serving as the captain of the volunteer corps. His rigorous fast unto death in September 1932 galvanized national attention before Mahatma Gandhi intervened and requested him to suspend the fast to prevent physical exhaustion. A subsequent referendum in Malabar overwhelmingly favored temple entry for all Hindu castes.
