T.K. Madhava Memorial College, Nangiarkulangara (Official Blog): Alappuzha, Kerala , India; T.K.Madhava Memorial College is named after the great freedom fighter and social reformer Sri. T.K. Madhavan. He was born and brought up in a prominent Ezhava family in Karthikappally Taluk. From the days of his childhood, he became conscious of the outrageous insults and ill treatment suffered by his fellow beings under the rigors of the caste system. In his youth he became an ardent and faithful follower of Sree Narayana Guru. Inspired by the grand spiritual vision of the Guru, he dedicated his life to the cause of the oppressed masses. He was an admirer of Gandhian philosophy also. The 'Vaikom Satyagraha' organised by him with the blessings of Sree Narayana Guru and Mahatma Gandhi in 1924 was a momentous event in the freedom struggle of India and a turning point in the long struggle for the eradication of untouchability.
