Malayali Memorial, also spelled Malayalee Memorial, is a memorandum submitted by people of Kerala to Maharaja Sree Moolam Thirunal in 1891. Signed by more than 10,000 people which includes Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, Malayali Memorial agitation requested Sri Moolam Thirunal to secure jobs for the educated Keralaite citizens in the Travancore civil service. During the time majority of the jobs were in the hands of Tamil Brahmins.
Malayali Memorial was one of the main landmarks in the struggle of the backward classes for gaining legitimate rights in the Government jobs. In 1896, the Ezhava caste groups submitted another memorandum known as Ezhava Memorial.
