Vaikunta swamikal

  • He was one of the earlier social reformers in Kerala, born at Shastamkoyil in Kanyakumari.

  • Challenged the social abuse of prohibiting Avarnas from drawing water from the wells used by the Savarnas, by digging wells which were free for everyone irrespective of caste.

  • Began the practice of inter-dining (Samapanthibhojanam).

  • Raised voice against the evil custom of preventing lower caste women from wearing upper cloth & protested against the prohibition on temple entry.

  • His activities inspired the Channar Revolt (Upper Cloth Mutiny) that fought for the right of the Channar women to wear upper clothes and knee-length garments.

  • Formed Samatwa Samajam.

  • "One should get wages for work" was his stance. He expressed his contempt towards the British government by calling it ven neecha bharanam (the rule of white devils).
