| Shrnutí: | All caste and communities had many problems on their way to progress. To reform their caste they organised movements under their caste. As an organisation Nair Service Society was formed on 31 st October 1914 under its headquarters at Perunna in Kottayam district. Before as an organisation a group of leaders in Nair community worked hardly for the reforms of the Nairs. The main contribution of Nair Service Society was the empowerment of women especially in taravads. Taravad is a matrilinial joint family system followed by people in Kerala especially Nairs, consisting of above 50 members. Taravad was under the strict control of karanavar and the women and the junior members have no power. The condition of women in taravads was like slaves. Nair Service Society and its leader Mannathu Padmanabhan worked against the autocratic power of karanavar and influenced the women in taravads. Under the influence of Nair Service Society a number of laws were
passed to protect the Nair women. |
