Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

The Sri Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Movement was a major social reform movement that originated in Kerala. It was led by Sri Narayana Guru (1856–1928) to uplift the Ezhava community, who were then considered backward and faced social discrimination.

  • The SNDP Yogam was formally registered in 1903 to institutionalize the reform efforts.
  • Sri Narayana Guru advocated for the philosophy of "One Caste, One Religion, One God for Mankind" (Oru Jathi, Oru Matham, Oru Daivam Manushyanu).
  • The movement challenged the caste-based restrictions on temple entry and education. In 1888, he performed the Aruvippuram installation of a Shiva idol, asserting that the right to consecrate idols was not reserved for Brahmins alone.
  • Key associates included Dr. Palpu and the poet Kumaran Asan.
