The talk page seems to suggest the controversy is around a "breast tax" section of the article that has since been removed. Evidently there doesn't seem to be any historical record of it happening and most reports are based on repetition of village stories of dubious historical veracity. The editors even complain about the poor state of Indian media and the agenda-driven approaches to discussing history within it.
