Perinad revolt is otherwise known as Kallumala Samaram, is a social movement or agitation led by the women of lower caste communities in Perinad region of Kerala. Perinad Mutiny has a significant position in the history of Kerala. The agitation was the direct response to the age long tradition of denying lower caste women to wear ornaments made of stone and broken glasses. Under the leadership of Ayyankali a group of women gathered in Perinad and showed the anger by throwing their stone ornaments. These stone ornaments were seen as as the symbol of slavery and inferiority. This Paper focused on the Historical importance of Perinad Revolt.
