'The Hindu' quoting 'Our Desathinte Katha" Sugathan,(1971) an 'event' happened in 1802.
though, there is no mention of such incidence in state records
Clubbing "Cloth controversy", "Mulakaram", "Nangeli Sacrifice" to form a story.

Mulakaram and Tulakaran were tax for attaining working age (NOT Breast TAX)
The only mention in antiquity of a breast chopped off was for not paying TAX (published in 1937)

I firmly belief, History books should remain historical not fictional

@timesofindia referered T Murali (Chithrakaran), known for publishing Hindu hate blogs.
His insulted Godess Saraswati in a deleted blog cannot be written here.
Few SS from Murali's FB account shows amount of Hindu-Hate
