I am a keralite and when I was growing up it was common to see old topless women. I don’t think the caste actually determined who could be topless or not. Mind you this was 1990s. This custom stopped altogether as that generation of old women passed away. Now you won’t find women swimming around in the public ponds or being topless. Also I think it’s extremely liberating that women could be topless without being subjected to lecherous gestures or stares which is the case now.
