Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, Mother Teresa, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Swami Vivekananda, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Ram Mohan Roy, and numerous other social reformers are on the rundown, they are not alive now but rather their quality is as yet starting in the hearts of individuals and them undying in the books of history.
SOCIO-RELIGIOUS REFORM MOVEMENT
From 1812 until practically the end of the century, however political life was portrayed by idleness and society introduced an outward tranquility, incendiary powers were shaping and creating. This current of social change continuously drove Kerala into the standard of political battle for opportunity and dependable government in the twentieth century.The significant result of this mature was the enlivening of the majority particularly the lower orders in the Hindu society, against social foul play and wrongs. This enlivening discovered verbalization in Kerala towards the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Various socio-strict change developments, which were additionally the most punctual majority rule mass developments in Kerala, came to fruition. Overall, these developments were serene and peaceful, however there was a propensity of aggressiveness in them. These developments were absolutely critical, on the grounds that Kerala had, for quite a long time, endured the rank framework in its most abusive structure. The unbending station framework and silly rank restrictions existed in such an offensive manner that the lower orders were ‘distant’ as well as ”disconnected” too. In Malabar, regardless of the approach of direct British principle and the resultant partition of the rank framework from the authoritative hardware, economic wellbeing and monetary capability of the individual was as yet controlled by his situation in the position order. In the regal territories of Kochi and Travancore, the hold of the standing framework was considerably really choking. Until the twentieth century, administrative positions were denied to bring down standings and non-Hindus.
Perhaps the main social change developments were led by Shri Narayana Guru, the incomparable Hindu holy person and social reformer. The Guru was brought into the world in 1856 in the Ezhava Community which had a status far underneath that of the Nambudiris. He bravely reprimanded and battled against the afflictions of the rank framework, the Brahmin authority and the various social handicaps of the Ezhavas and other lower positions. Before long Shri Narayana Guru turned into the mobilizing point for the Ezhavas and Thiyyas to join together and coordinate. The Shri Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam (SNDP), in a real sense the general public for the engendering of good instructing of Shri Narayana appeared on fifteenth May 1903. Inside a brief period, the Guru and Yogam drew towards them a splendid band of committed specialists, including the writer Kumaran Asan, whose endeavors establish an articulate demonstration of what a local area, submitted to hundreds of years of oppression, can do and accomplish through solidarity, authenticity and living being.
Shri Narayana was, be that as it may, no partisan rationalist and pioneer. A program of activity established upon such wonderful humanism and social design was not bound to stay restricted to one standing in particular; it before long turned into the way of thinking of Hindu reconstruction, enveloping all ranks, including the Brahmin. The Nairs additionally felt the requirement for change. All through the middle age period and until well into the nineteenth century, the Nairs had a pre-famous job in Kerala. By the center of the nineteenth century, be that as it may, this predominance began melting away. Organizations like the sambandam (non-legitimate marriage) and the matrilineal joint family framework, which had guaranteed the strength of the Nair people group prior, presently became useful of numerous shades of malice. The effect of the market economy, the vanishing of customary military preparing, the retention of new qualities through the new arrangement of training, the reluctance being created among the lower positions and their weep for correspondence and advantages – this load of elements achieved a decay of Nair strength. The feeling of decay gave a force to the soul of change that put itself out there in crafted by strict men like Chattambi Swamikal, in writing, on the press and later in authoritative authorizations in regard of marriage, legacy, property rights and so forth at last, the developments crystalized in the establishment of the Nair Service Society in 1914. The motivation to change was not bound to the Zehavi’s and different untouchables and the Nair’s as it were. In actuality in differing degrees, it influenced each standing in Hindu society just as the Christians and the Muslims.
