History of Ooruttambalam AD 1915: Ooruttambalam Revolt (Nineteenth Century Revolt) under the leadership of Ayyankali. In the same year, Kallumala Agitation occurred under the leadership of Ayyankali in Perinad of Kollam. In 1915 in a village named Ooruttambalam in Kerala, the great Dalit revolutionary Ayyankali took a Pulaya untouchable girl for admission into a Malayalam school. The upper castes set fire to the school to prevent the untouchable children from "defiling the educational institution". This was followed by the first-ever agricultural strike in the history of the nation, fought not for wages but for school admission. After nearly a 100 years (and 60 years of the Indian republic), education and admission will be as inaccessible as for the little Pulaya girl. This time, the question is not about the right to entry, but the cost of education.
