Breast tax
Mulakkaram, literally translated as breast tax, was a poll tax imposed on women belonging to Nadar, Ezhava and other lower caste communities by the erstwhile Kingdom of Tranvancore (in present-day Kerala state of India), and was not applicable to upper caste women of Travancore.[1][2][web 1][web 2][note 1] The term "breast tax" was used to denote the gender of the person and not breasts per se.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
