The Breast Tax: Another fake Hinduphobic story| Dr. Premendra Priyadarshi | #SangamTalks

Recently many newspapers and blogs published articles on a funny tax, the Breast Tax, which was allegedly levied by the Hindu King of Travancore on the women of the lower castes until it was abolished in 1850 after a rebellion by the lower caste women. A detailed examination of the matter shows no evidence that such tax ever existed in Kerala, or in any part of India.
