Answer:

Jatimimamsa (ജാതിമീമാംസ) is one of the significant philosophical works of Sree Narayana Guru, famously known for being composed partly in Sanskrit and partly in Malayalam.
The title Jatimimamsa translates to 'A Critique of Caste' or 'Enquiry into Caste'.
Through this work, Guru systematically critiques the caste system based on birth and emphasizes the inherent unity and equality of humanity.
The work asserts that humanity belongs to 'one caste', thereby challenging the prevailing social stratification.

Sree Narayana Guru (1856-1928) was a profound philosopher, social reformer, and spiritual leader who played a pivotal role in the Kerala Renaissance.
His core philosophy is encapsulated in the famous dictum: "Oru Jathi, Oru Matham, Oru Daivam Manushyanu" (One Caste, One Religion, One God for Man).
The Aruvippuram Pratishta (1888), where Guru consecrated a Siva idol, marked a revolutionary step against caste-based priestly dominance and social discrimination.
He founded the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam in 1903, with the support of Dr. Palpu and Kumaran Asan, to uplift the Ezhavas and other marginalized communities socially and spiritually.
Dr. Palpu served as the Vice President and Kumaran Asan as the Secretary of SNDP Yogam during its formative years.
Guru encouraged inter-caste marriages and dining, promoting social harmony and equality.
