A story my mother told.
Kadavallur [yes, the fuc%^&ng anonyam temple place], South Malabar, circa early 1950s.
My grandfather, grandmother and their kids – all almost 10 kids then. My mother and her elder sister reached puberty.

The filthy rich Menon Tharavad wanted girls to sweep the yard in the morning. Well, by 1950s Sudra Nairs and Ezhavas were less enthusiastic of slavery. Now, Dalits get promoted for sweeping the yard – the sweeping inside is still reserved for LC Nairs.
The girls shouldn’t cover their breasts! That’s the condition. Lower caste has no right to hide their breast in front of an upper caste. Yes, it’s after independence likely at the time of Dwija EMS’ first term.
Menon Sahib summoned my grandfather, ordered to send the girls with bare-chested to sweep the yard from next day.
Overnight, he ran away from the fucking Kadavallur with his ten kids and wife!

Had he not done that, probably he would have been killed, his daughters may have been raped.
Menon’s themselves wouldn’t have to do it. Ezhavas would have done it on orders from the Menons.
Teaching Panchamas a lesson was responsibility of the Sudras too, wasn’t it?
