"Kerala has seen several social movements during its long history. It was formerly enslaved by a slew of archaic ideas and rituals. The labour of many activists and movements resulted in advancement away from those repressive behaviours. When it comes to the renaissance, the Kshetra Pravesana Vilambaram (Temple Entry Proclamation) of Thiruvithamkoor on November 12, 1936 is an unforgettable page in Kerala history. It was almost the death knell for the racial stereotypes that had persisted in Kerala society up until that point. The proclamation was a milestone in the history of Travancore and later in rest of Kerala as well. Today, the Temple Entry proclamation day is considered as social reformation day by the Government of Kerala. The Temple Entry Proclamation was praised from every corners. Gandhiji called the proclamation ‘the great wonder of modern times’.
