The Week magazine dated September 16, 2012, has a surprise for Kodavas particularly as it carries on its cover the gun-toting, trigger-happy Kodava woman who lives in city, Mrs. Tiny Biddapa.
The 66-year-old Kodavathi, Madrira Tiny Biddapa, is also featured on the inside-spread of the magazine with her 12-bore gun resting on her shoulder inside her coconut-garden in the outskirts of the city adjacent to the Police Layout in Mysore East.
The article says that many women see guns as a force equaliser in this unfair world, well, dominated by men of lust and greed.—KBG
