This robbed me off my sleep

Last night, I was searching for something to read. Something out of the ordinary everyday knowledge. It was a mistake. Certain knowledge can be quite burdensome as I stumbled on the Breast Tax called Mulakaram.

This is one of man's inhumanities to man in the name of religion and culture that will shock anybody to the marrows.

In the 19th Century India, the Breast Tax (Mulakkaram) was a tax imposed on the lower caste (Shudra) and untouchable (Dalit) Hindu women by the Kingdom of Tranvancore ( Kerala) if they wanted to cover their breasts in public, and it was in place until 1924.

Vincent Agbodike: Christ's Passion

In us You gave it all
By us we lost it all.
We rejected the blame
Putting Your efforts to shame.

In full force the gate of hell let loose
Pouring upon us her virtues in deuce;
Death, misery, hardship, sorrow, pain
Wickedness, hatred, vanity. Sin!
