Women start watermelon protest against Kerala professor’s remarks

Student organisations outside Farook Training College in Kozhikode, where assistant professor Jouhar Munavvir T delivered the speech, launched a watermelon march seeking action against him. 

Some have threatened to send him slices of watermelon slices imitating the ‘pink chaddi’ campaign in Mangaluru. 

“We will flood him with watermelons,” said a student activist. 

Many women have voiced their opinions on social media while two women posted their topless photos holding watermelons. Some women even posted bare-breasted photos, which were removed by Facebook for violating obscenity. 

“I am upset with hypersexualisation of breasts by people. Whether it be professors in college or social media users seeing a model breastfeed and pose for a magazine. So, I and my husband posted pictures of me nude,” said 25-year-old Arathy SA in a television interview.
