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.

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.

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...
