| Summary, etc. |
Through an analysis of the twenty-month long Gandhian Satyagraha (non-violent resistance) against untouchability at Vykom, Kerala, in the mid-1920s, this book explores new approaches to the understanding and practice of non-violence as a means of civil protest. Contesting the notion that the movement was directed at the 'conversion' of upper castes to accommodate the lower sections of the society, the author argues that it was modern India's first important social struggle whereby people took action to protest the caste system and the practice of untouchability. The role of Gandhi and the dilemmas that he faced are interlaced with analysis of the stages of the Satyagraha. The author also broadens the scope to analyse the impact of Vykom on the concept and workings of civil resistance on a global level. With an examination of archival sources, newspapers and oral narratives, this work reconstructs the history of colonial Travancore, and placing the Vykom Satyagraha in this context, traces the dynamics of civil resistance during this movement. |
