In the early 19th century, Travancore had a barbaric and oppressive law that was highly degrading for its women. The Mulakkaram, or the 'breast tax,' was a tax to be paid by the Dalit women of Travancore per the size of their breasts. Source: Induviduality via Facebook As the law did not allow Dalit women to cover their breasts, the tax was meant to add insult to their injury of being easily identifiable in the most demeaning way. The regime subjugated the lower castes and ensured they stayed in debt with barbaric laws and taxes on things as trivial as the right to wear jewellery and, for men, the right to grow a moustache. …

He argues Australia is perfectly placed to become a world leader in the production of green hydrogen energy. For Dr Forrest, the question …

WHAT DOES YOUR TONGUE SAY ABOUT YOUR STATE OF HEALTH? If you are feeling under the weather, just stick out your tongue – the state it’s in can present an accurate picture of your health. The colour, texture and moisture of your tongue can provide signs of what’s going on inside your body.

As you may know the A9 road has been closed, this is the road which lays between Columbo and Jaffna, a access pathway to food, water and medicine but the notorious Sri Lankan Government has closed the road denying all admission to daily essentials, this is leading to the loss of delicate lives of our people.

Since the Tigers launched attacks toward Jaffna last week, telephone communication with the area has been virtually cut off. "There is an attack in Jaffna, that is all we can say," said an army spokesman. An aid worker report…
