1. India is rejoicing the victory of 6 years old R. Praggnanandha over world chess champion, @MagnusCarlsen. It might seem like a victory but from the intersectional point of view, it is a great disaster, which will only increase Brahmanical patriarchy in India.
#Praggnanandhaa
2. For starters, see the Vibhuti on his forehead. If that is not the example of Brahmanical patriarchy, I don't know what is. It is a sign of how this victory will legitimize the systemic oppression in a deeply unequal and racist society like India.
#Chess
3. The beautiful individual that he has defeated is a Norwegian. Intersectionality does not believe in nationality, except when it is one of the beautiful Scandinavian countries or any Islamic country. Nationality in these nations is a boost to the intersectional universe.
4. By defeating Magnus Carlsen, a Norwegian, Praggnanda has defeated someone who belongs to a country which has taken intersectional logic and social justice to its extremes. It is a defeat of women, minorities, LGBTQIA+ community and all the assorted marginalized individuals.
5. And don't even start me on the choice of the game. Chess is a board game representation of the Hindu universe. The Shudra pawns are sacrificed first. The king does nothing and yet is most important. The queen does the heavy hauling best player & yet not most important.
6. The animals are sacrificed like they are in a Vedic Yajna. The horses go first. (Rings any bells about the Vedic Yajnas where horses were sacrificed?) The camels come next. (Hatred for the Arabs perhaps?) And the slow moving Hindu loving elephants at last.

7. Is it not a replica of a Brahmanical agricultural field in backward Yogi-ruled Uttar Pradesh? The women do the heavy hauling and the men, inspired by Brahmanical patriarchy, play cards and smoke ganja under the banyan tree? (That tree meanwhile irritates me to no end.)
8. To defeat Brahmanical patriarchy, the International Chess Federation @FIDE_chess shall declare the results of this game null and void and declare Magnus Carlsen the real winner. THAT would be a true example of intersectional justice.
@jsaideepak As you were too happy at the Vibhuti, here is a class in intersectionality.
* 16 years old, not 6. I knew the type when I was typing it. But perfection is patriarchal. Mistakes are more inclusive. And thus I made this correction separately. I am just amazing.
@rahulroushan Before you speak on the issue...

1. Intersectional View of the Hijab Controversy

Hijab, as my very existence proves, is the ultimate expression of freedom. It doesn’t need logic as logic is a patriarchal tool to fool rationally marginalized people. Hijab is beyond logic.

#HijabControversy

2. The enemies of freedom – Brahmins, men, & Hindus in general – are seeing the Hijab controversy in an inverted way. They are using logical props by giving constitutional, secular and democratic arguments. The truth is the other way around.

#BrahmanicalPatriarchy
3. Democracy cannot judge Hijab. Hijab will judge democracy. Hijab is a symbol of freedom if Muslim women use it. It needs no other logic. No toxic rationalization. The very act of Muslim women wearing Hijab proves that Hijab means freedom.

1.Intersectional Perspective on Diwali Crackers. Comrades! We all know how Diwali is a fascist festival associated with the Savarna hegemony of Vaishyas and Brahmins over the Dalits, women, LGBTQIA+ community and other assorted marginalized beautiful individuals.

#Diwali
2.This power hierarchy is also deeply visible in the fire crackers that fascist Hindus burst on this very important day. The power dynamism and resident inequalities of the Hindu society are deeply visible in the fire crackers.
3.Let us start by the shape of these fire crackers. Don’t most of them look like phallic symbols? They are all long and pointy ended, and are the psycho-sexual expression of hidden male hegemony in Hindu society.

1. #NeerajChopra: The Poster Boy of Toxic Masculinity and Brahmanical Patriarchy

Though Indians are celebrating this deplorable development in #TokyoOlympics there is a flip side to India getting gold, especially in Javelin throw. This is how. Image
2. Firstly, to prize gold above other elements is Elementism. They are all just beautiful elements. To box them in better and worse, shiny and briny is the result of the Brahmanical patriarchy, that is the root of all evil in this world.
3. It is no wonder that India, a country which gave birth to Brahmanical patriarchy is also the country which prizes gold so much. Only the Middle Eastern countries achieve equality with gold as they also use the metal in toilets.
