Explanation

The Vaikom Satyagraha (1924–25) was a significant social reform movement in the Princely State of Travancore (modern-day Kerala). It was primarily directed against the practice of untouchability and the prohibition of lower castes (Avarnas) from using the public roads surrounding the Vaikom Mahadeva Temple. Thus, statement 1 is correct.

The movement was led by leaders such as T.K. Madhavan, K. Kelappan, and K.P. Kesava Menon. Mahatma Gandhi was actively involved; he visited Vaikom in March 1925, where he spent several days mediating between the satyagrahis, the orthodox Hindu leadership, and the Travancore administration. His guidance and negotiations were instrumental in the eventual success of the movement, which led to the opening of the roads to all castes. Thus, statement 2 is correct.
