Which historic social reform agitation in Travancore (1924–1925) was launched to secure the right of all lower-caste individuals to walk along the public roads surrounding the Vaikom Mahadeva Temple?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Vaikom Satyagraha was a landmark non-violent campaign initiated by Congress leaders like T.K. Madhavan and K. Kelappan to open prohibited temple roads to untouchable communities, drawing national attention and Mahatma Gandhi's personal intervention. Guruvayur Satyagraha focused specifically on temple entry rather than road access. The success of the satyagraha laid the groundwork for future temple entry proclamations in princely Kerala.
