THE WOMAN WITH NO BREASTS
Manu S. Pillai, The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore (2015) (New Delhi: HarperCollins Publishers India)
Note: Nangeli exists in Ezhava folklore, and there is a parallel tale featuring a tribal couple, recorded in another part of Kerala. Lately there has been debate on the absence of ‘real’ documentation on Nangeli. Documentation, however, in India largely revolves around high-caste groups, while low-caste heroes and heroines often exist only in song and lore, much of which has not been catalogued. Given the paucity of written material where marginalised communities are concerned, such folklore cannot be written off simply because there is no paper to back the stories they tell—on the contrary, when it comes to marginalised groups, these songs and tales are often the only sources of information we have, leaving historians to work with these to the extent possible.
