Bare-breasted Protest

The Kerala professor whose remarks advocating a "proper" cover-up triggered bare-breasted protests by women across the state, has now run into legal trouble. The state police have filed a case against Jouhar Munawar, accusing him of "outraging the modesty of women".

Using the watermelon as a metaphor, a college professor in Kerala's Kozhikode spoke about the need for women to cover up their breasts "properly". Far from having the effect he desired, as the speech went viral in the last few days, protests flared across the state.
