Temple entry proclamation
November 12, 1936, then Travancore king Chithira Thirunal made a public declaration that sent waves of shock and hope simultaneously. The declaration was historical, and Kerala was awake into the new morning as if the sun rose at midnight. It gave the suppressed people wings to fly, and we could shorten the declaration like this “No one should be denied the peace and calmness of the Hindu religion due to his or her birth. Therefore, from today, everybody is free to enter any temple under the government” (declaration from Sri Chithira Thirunal Ravivarma to be published on November 12, 1936)
