| Summary: | The study examines the inclusive educational practices in Kerala during the Reformation era (nineteenth and twentieth centuries) in order to position intersectionality as a heuristic device to study childhood and education in Kerala. The intersectional approach is an efficient tool to analyse the situatedness of the reformers like Ayyankali, Mariamma and Arya Pallam who led social movements towards the realisation of equitable education in Kerala. The study establishes a connection between intersectionality, reformation, and children, thus, widening the scope of intersectionality as an analytical lens. The paper posits that the educational initiatives of the reformers have uplifted children who are under erasure in the Indian educational discourse.
