The “Malayali Memorial” agitation of 1891 focused on:

Temple entry rights
Educational opportunities
Representation in government service
Abolition of feudal practices

The correct answer is: C) Representation in government service.

The Malayali Memorial was a petition submitted to the Government of India in 1891 by a group of Malayali (natives of Kerala) leaders. The petition sought to increase the representation of Malayalis in government service, which was then dominated by Brahmins. The petition was successful, and the government agreed to increase the number of Malayalis in government service.

The other options are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because the Malayali Memorial did not focus on temple entry rights. Option B is incorrect because the Malayali Memorial did not focus on educational opportunities. Option D is incorrect because the Malayali Memorial did not focus on the abolition of feudal practices.

The Malayali Memorial was a significant event in the history of Kerala. It was the first time that Malayalis had come together to demand their rights from the government. The success of the petition showed that Malayalis were a powerful force to be reckoned with. The Malayali Memorial also helped to raise awareness of the problems faced by Malayalis and to bring about positive changes in their lives.
