Criticism
In September 2015, Kumudam faced criticism when an article published in Kumudam Reporter criticised women wearing leggings. The women's pictures used in the article were reportedly printed without consent.[4] The article received considerable social media attention, resulting in a petition on Change.org, which received over 17,500 signatures.[citation needed]
