Indian Women Oppose 'Sexist' Comments by Posing Half-Naked With Watermelons

The female students from Kerela, a state on India’s Malabar Coast, stood up against alleged sexist comments made by a college professor, who said women’s breasts look like melons and suggested that the fair sex in the college should hide them most carefully.
