Abstract
On September 1, Sethu Lakshmi Bayi became the maharani regent, ruling over 4 million persons. She swiftly freed 20 Vykom detainees. A savarna jatha, a grand procession of high-caste Hindus (men), would present a “monster petition” to her. The chapter brings to light from oblivion an event in the history of civil resistance. Hundreds walked in military formation to Travancore’s capital, Trivandrum, in yellow costumery, despite rains. Another jatha trod from Suchindram in south Travancore, both converging on November 11. A delegation presented the petition with 25,000 high-caste signatures to the maharani. The Travancore Legislative Council resolved that every Vykom temple road be opened to all, suspiciously defeated 22–21, February 7, 1925. Gandhi visited Travancore. On March 10, 1925, in three hours meeting with Vykom’s orthodoxy, Gandhi experienced the full brunt of intransigence and presumed privileges of the Nambudiri Brahmins, who summarily dismissed three offers that Gandhi extended.
