Answers
Answer:
Explanation:The ' Nivarthana ' agitation of the early thirties was to secure adequate representation for the Ezhavas, Christians and Muslims in the State Legislature. These communities demanded that they should be given representation in the Legislature in proportion to their numerical strength. The erstwhile Dewan of Travancore Sir C.P. Ramaswamy Iyer declared open war with the agitators and decided to suppress the agitation. Finally the Government had to allot specific number of seats to the Ezhava, Muslim and Christian communities. In February 1938, the ‘Travancore State Congress’ was formed and started agitation for a responsible government. On 26 August 1938, Ramaswamy Iyer banned the State Congres . Later on Akkamma Cherian led a mass rally to the Kowdiar Palace of the Maharaja Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma to revoke a ban on State Congress. They also demanded the dismissal of the Dewan, C. P. Ramaswami Iyer, against whom the State Congress leaders had levelled several charges.
