Indeed, many taxes are filled in India and one of them was imposed on hiding women's breasts. Yes, this tax was levied in Kerala. In the 19th century, the King of Kerala had imposed a tax on the dalit women to cover their breasts and ordered them to keep their breast open when they go to the public place. If a woman's breast was found to be covered they would be punished. Not only this, women had to be fined according to the size of their breasts.
