The Satyagraha was a fight for access to the roads surrounding the Vaikom Mahadeva temple for people of all castes, who were otherwise forced to use roundabout paths to reach their destinations.
“Our children who attended the event will now tell posterity about it, and keep alive the memory of the Satyagraha for another 100 years,” said Vijayakumari, one of the attendees of the inauguration.
