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. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 316-322) and index. 651 0 $a Travancore (Princely State) $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Travancore (Princely State) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Passive resistance $z Travancore (Princely State) $z Travancore (Princely State) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nonviolence $z Travancore (Princely State) $z Travancore (Princely State) $x History $y 20th century. 600 10 $a Gandhi, $c Mahatma, $d 1869-1948. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79041626 650 0 $a Caste $z India $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Dalits $z India $x History $y 20th century. 600 17 $a Gandhi, $c Mahatma, $d 1869-1948. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033822 650 7 $a Nonviolence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039027 650 7 $a Caste. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848395 650 7 $a Dalits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887187 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Passive resistance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01054436 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a India $z Travancore (Princely State) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212683 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011852.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0434E8FEFB5511E7891C5F6197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
