Ezhava Memorial is a memorandum submitted to the Maharaja of Travancore on
3rd Sept 1896.The Travancore Ezhava Sabha took the initiative in preparing and presenting
the memorial.It was signed by 13176 members of the Ezhava community.It pleaded for
among other things, the extension of civil rights and government jobs to members of the
lower castes and the Ezhavas in particular. It also pleaded for the opening of public
schools to the Ezhavas.It demanded that the Ezhavas be made beneficiaries of these rights
and privileges enjoyed by the converts to Christianity.The response of the government was
disappointing. Hence a second memorial was presented to the viceroy Curzon in 1900.It
enumerated the grievances of the Ezhavas and requested the viceroy’s initiative in getting
them redressed.The viceroy refused to intervene.Hence both the memorials failed to
achieve their immediate objectives.
These memorials followed the ancient Hindu customs of direct petition to the king,
yet they challenged the Maharaja’s way of governance.The agitations based on the
memorials marked the rise of the new educated middle class as a force to be reckoned
with.They symbolised the beginning of the modern political movements to be waged by
the lower classes for securing social equality and justice in Thiruvithamkur.

It comes with the leg strap itself and a handy little bottle to store your fake pee. Made from neoprene, wearing this concealable leg strap provides you with a comfy experience.31-AM-300x100.png 300w, https://www.laweekly. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/
