Yes, this whole "breast tax" on "lower caste women" is a completely fake narrative. In many native communities across the world, women were topless just like men. In Kerala, the queen was topless in the 19th century as were Nair women. #FakeNarratives.
The whole "leering" comes from the #ChristoIslamic gaze and perversion of the mind. Exposing the breast was no more sexual than exposing women's face or the chest of men. The sexual-obsession-repression of #ChristoIslam creates rape and burqa culture.

It had nothing to do with wealth but with Anglicization and the colonial gaze. But we really need to document the old photos of proud grandmothers from Kerala to West Bengal and to document experiences.

What use is citations to someone who hasn't learnt to read? The link is in that Tweet itself. You're too lazy to even click and read the article.

The biggest impact of colonial consciousness is shame. We start to look from the colonizer's gaze and it makes us ashamed of our culture. When our eyesight is restored, we see that the colonizer needs to be ashamed, not us.
