Yeh... Women do it with consent...That's why lower caste woman riots for getting right to hide their breasts from 1813 to 1859...
The
Channar Lahala or
Channar revolt, also called
Maru Marakkal Samaram, refers to the fight from 1813 to 1859 of Nadar climber women in Travancore kingdom for the right to wear upper-body clothes to cover their breasts. This right was previously reserved for Nair women, who were higher-class Hindu women.
In Travancore, Cochin and Malabar, no female was allowed to cover their upper part of the body in front of Upper castes of Kerala until the 19th century. Under the support of
Ayya Vaikundar, some communities fought for their right to wear upper clothes and the upper class resorted to attacking them in 1818. In 1819, the
Rani of Travancore announced that the lower castes including the Nadar climber women have no right to wear upper clothes like most lower non-Brahmin castes of Kerala. However, the aristocratic Nadan women of the region were exempted from this restriction. Violence against Nadar climber women who revolted against this continued and reached its peak in 1858 across the kingdom, notably in southern taluks of Neyyattinkara and Neyyur.
On 26 July 1859, under pressure from the Madras Governor, the king of Travancore issued a proclamation announcing the right of Nadar climber women to wear upper clothes but on condition that they should not imitate the style of clothing worn by upper class women. Though the proclamation did not quell the tension immediately, it gradually subsided as the social and economical status of Nadar climbers progressed in subsequent decades with significant support from missionaries and Ayya Vaikundar.
In 1858, fresh violence broke out in several places in Travancore and the governor of Madras presidency, Charles Trevelyan, pressured the Travancore king. On
26 July 1859, the king issued a proclamation leading to the restoration of equal rights to wear upper cloth to all Kerala Nadar climber women.
Here's How Kerala's 150-Year-Old Tradition Of Forcing Woman To Keep Their Breasts Uncovered Came To An End
At a time when even the British hadn't made their arrival in India, a part of our nation was plagued by an inhumane practice against women. This social evil prevented womenfolk of Travancore to keep their upper bodies completely bare of clothing. It was a struggle that lasted for a good century and a half, was abolished after the English passed a law, and eventually paved the way for a more intelligent and modern state of Kerala.
1. 150 years ago, women covering their breasts was considered a crime. The practice continued till the middle of the 19th century.
2. Only upper caste women belonging to Namboodiri, Brahmin, Kshatriya and Nair clans were allowed to cover their breasts.
4. The womenfolk of the lower caste clans were therefore subject to the inhumane practice of laying their breasts bare.
4. Still, rules applied to castes differently. A Kshatriya women had to lay her upper body bare in front of Brahmins, a clan of superior beings. However, fearing punishment, almost all women of different castes chose to keep themselves uncovered.
5. But this didn't stop the evil from spreading. Once when a queen saw a dalit women in her palace covered with clothing, she ordered the latter to have her breasts cut off.
6. The royals also didn't pay any heed to the social evil. Whenever the king's entourage made a public appearance in the city, the upper caste women showered flowers onto them with no clothes covering their own assets.
7. At the beginning of the 19th century, however, things started to look better. Workers ventured out from Kerala to Sri Lanka, became aware of social rights and adopted Christianity which allowed women the freedom to cover themselves within and outside the house.
8. But men took this change as a personal insult and added injury to the change by violently attacking women and tearing their clothes off.
9. The battle continued even after the Blue Diwan of Travancore passed the declaration that allowed women to cover their breasts in 1814. But some women took it upon themselves to retaliate and came forward with their entire bodies covered.
10. It was only 26 July, 1859, with the advent of British that a law was passed to put a stop to this social evil and finally liberating the women from the tentacles of male prejudices.
Only a Christian Fanatic like you will call the traditions of your Native land as "EVIL" and admire the traditions of the Vatican and BRITISH.
