“Secondly, the capacity to control the corporeal body (both male and female)”, Gopal Guru, p.1, Introduction, Theorizing Humiliation. Where is my space in his work? Space of my queer identity in his binary theory?

 

Exposing theoretical falsehoods

 

The leading Indian political theorist Gopal Guru discovered only male and female categories in his much-celebrated theoretical work, Humiliation, Claims, and Context (ed. ), published by Oxford University Press, 2009, New Delhi.

 

“Secondly, the capacity to control the corporeal body (both male and female)”, Gopal Guru, p.1, Introduction, Theorizing Humiliation. Where is my space in his work? Space of my queer identity in his binary theory?

 

Unfortunately, Professor Gopal Guru writes on subalternity, persecution, caste, untouchability, race, gender, oppression, feminism, etc., but he does not even know that LGBTQ communities are living human beings. The irony is that Guru quotes Michael Foucault in every work.

 

“Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise laws and institutions no matter how efficient and well-arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust.” Pp.3-4. John Rawls, A Theory of Justice

Every LGBTQ person is a George Floyd

 

Civilizational Violence

Every LGBTQ person is a George Floyd

Every Dalit or untouchable caste person is a George Floyd.

Every moment, millions of LGBTQ people face civilizational violence. Just like the 250 million George Flowds (Untouchables or Dalits) in India. The Pundits and their foot soldiers (Reddy, Kamma, Kapu, Velama, Gouda, Yadav, etc.) are taking George Floyd's breath from the soil of India, just like conservative genders are doing in the case of sexual minorities across space.

20^th and 21^st centuries’ definitions of civilizational violence: An incomplete characterization of the civilizational brutality of our democratic ideology is the slaughter of LGBTQ people. However, attempting to eradicate all sexual minorities from the planet is a comprehensive description of civilizational violence against LGBTQ groups.
