Malayalam auther Vikam Muhammad Basheer and film actor Mammutty hail from vaikom.

Here is the world known Siva Temple Situated, Its very lovely place. And this temple known for annadaanam at every day. And its one of a powerfull Shiva temple in kerala. And i living just 17 km east form this place.
Vaikam is a place which is very famous due to so many things. Vaikom sathyagraha is popular with the presence of mahatma gandhi,lead by C.Kesavan,Vaikam Sukumaran Nair,Vaikam Muhammed Basheer (literature), were basically from Vaikom. The great poet pala narayanan nair lived in Vaikam.
Even the place is very famous and situated on the bank of Vembanattu Kayal, the development in the twon is very slow. Also so may knwon personalities from this place and ministers from this place. Now everybody can calculate the things.
this message was marked as abusive, Vaikam is most (in)famous for Vaikam Satyagraha lead by Mahatma Gandhi and local leaders from both Christian and Muslim communities. E.V.Ramaswamy Naikar, a civil rights leader from Madras is also well known for his participation and leadership. His mimory is enshrined in a Statue and Mandapam at the Vaikom Main junction installed by the Government of Madras. Also known for their leadership and support for the Satyagraha are Christian leader George Joseph and local Muslims suppoting the cause of lower caste Hindus who demanded their right to worship in their local temples
Departed from the above, Vaikam is the most enchanting place to make new friends & to spend time with them. Even if cochin is known as "the queen of arabian sea ",Vaikam is now "The Prince of the Arabian Sea".
Unfortunately, It is a place where infrastructure developments were yet to start.No fundamental developments in the past 80 years.

Why on earth all you blokes(block-heads) write Vaikam as Vaikom. show a single "'o' karam" in Vaikam.
24 months ago shree   +1
why do you write Keralam? If Vaikam is VaikOm for you, it should be Vaikothastami KeralOm, KottayOm etc. etc.
