How more to educate and waite for Women Independence!

When do we have Independence?

Travancore Rajas, in British ruled India, ruthlessly extracted some 110 kinds of levies from Dalit people—on the fisherman’s net, ornaments worn, a moustache sported and so on. A general tax was levied

on men called Talakkaram, literally ‘head tax’; Mulakkaram literally means ‘breast tax’.

The "breast tax" was a poll tax called Mulakkaram that was imposed on women from lower caste communities in the Kingdom of Travancore in British-ruled India. The tax was imposed on women from the Nadar and Ezhava castes, among others. And, the tax was not applicable to upper caste women.

Nangeli, a lower caste woman, Dalit, from the Ezhava community, who cut off her breasts to death to protest the Breast-tax.

The land where she made her sacrifice is now known as Mulachhipuram, which means "land of the woman with breasts". 

As a woman,  I always feel myself a Nangeli too! Till now we are being criticised by our breasts..... isn't it? After covering full also, people make us nude by their nasty staring! When? When all women will know howmuch enough empowered they are; yes, they don't need anyone 's support. Without them, from family to society,  all will disabled,  handicapped. 

How more and how long we shout for our independence,  justice... anything?

We call our country a mother! Is it? Do the bastards know the meaning of Mother? 

No, I don't lose hope, neither stop fighting for our Independence and justice for Tilottama ( Abhoya). I am proud of you , dear Tilottama. I am proud of each and every girls, women. Love to all ,Pubali
