Revolution Withinportrays an important phase in the social reform movement of Kerala, where a major transformation took place within the upper-caste, patriarchal Nampudiri Brahmin households initiated by the youth and women, which challenged the pre-modern Brahminical moral codes, gendering process and modes of reproduction and inheritance, and resulted in a transformation of the Brahmin households. The book also shows how this internal revolutionary transformation later merged with an overall social change in Kerala. It argues that this transformation contributed to the growth of progressive democratic movements in Kerala and helped focus the gender question in this process.
