Tax imposed on women by the Kingdom of Tranvancore

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. 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). }}
