Answer:

  • The Vykom (Vaikom) Satyagraha took place in 1924–25 at Vaikom in the princely state of Travancore (Kerala).
  • Its aim was to win for the untouchables the right to use the public roads around the Vaikom Mahadeva temple, which were closed to them.
  • It was led by T.K. Madhavan, K.P. Kesava Menon and others; Mahatma Gandhi supported it and E.V. Ramaswamy (Periyar) took part.
  • The roads were opened to all in 1925. The satyagraha was an important step towards the Temple Entry Proclamation of Travancore (1936).
