Kerala Education Bill

KERALA EDUCATION BILL

If there is one other legislation which was so intensly debated in Kerala above the Education Bill of 1957, it was the Agrarian Relations bill which was presented by the first elected Communist Government which came to power under the leadership of EMS Namboothiripad. The resistance and the modes of protest adopted by it and the after effects have formed the important components of Kerala history itself. The Education Bill, have attracted intense responses from certain quarters. It seems there were among those who supported the two bills who felt that such large scale protest would not have emerged had only one among the two bills were presented. In the context of such apprehensions,the discussion about the Kerala Education bill of 1957, seeks to probe into the issue of whether there were any socio-scientific or historic reasons behind the protest against there two legislations, which culminated in the ‘liberation’ struggle.
