Answer:
(i)
Shanar women started wearing tailored blouses and clothes to cover themselves
like the upper caste.
(ii) Soon Nairs, one of the upper castes of the region, attacked these
women in public places and tore off their upper clothes.
(iii) Complaints were also filed in court against this
dress change, since it was a dress style of upper caste women.
(iv) The government of Travancore issued a proclamation in
1829 ordering Shanar women not to cover the upper parts of the body.
But this did not prevent the Shanar Christian women, and
even the Shanar Hindus from adopting the blouse and the upper cloth.
