ABSTRACT
The non-Brahmin movement and the Justice party in colonial Andhra were very important socioreligious moments in colonial South India. The minority Brahmin caste domination of politics, education and administration brought dissatisfaction among non-Brahmin agrarian groups. This led to formation of the Justice party. The ministry of Justice party formed in Madras presidency followed by their victory in 1920 general elections under diarchy. The Justice ministry brought few legislations intended to reduce domination of Brahmins and increase domination of non-Brahmin groups. One of
such acts is the Hindu Religious Endowments act. The act was intended to change the pattern of temple administration in Madras Presidency.
