Chakravorty
Not a Brahmin.
also defended a sexual abuser
In May 2018, Spivak signed a collective letter to New York University to defend Avital Ronell, a colleague of Spivak, against the charge of sexual abuse from NYU graduate student Nimrod Reitman. Spivak and the other signatories called the case a "legal nightmare" for Ronell and charged Reitman with conducting a "malicious campaign" against her. More specifically, the letter suggested that Ronell should be excused on the basis of the significance of her academic contributions. Many signatories were also concerned of the utilisation of feminist tools, like Title IX, to take down feminists.[38] Judith Butler, the chief signatory, subsequently apologized for certain aspects of the letter.[39][40] NYU ultimately found Ronell guilty of sexual harassment and suspended her for a year.

Couldn't have happened to a better person. If you ever need a textbook example of a midwit who thinks verbosity covers for her utter lack of any material contribution to scholarship read something she wrote. No wonder she couldn't resist from showing off lol. All of postcolonial studies is whores and dimwits like her, I loathe the whole field and its association with real history so much
Also this reminds me of first year at jnu lol. A prof told us the SC/ST PhD candidates were trying to launch a movement calling them casteists cause most of them had terrible interview scores(covid opening year). It made some headlines then too I think. Another time a senior complained deletes were sexually harassing her and threatening her with sc/ST act(
) if she complained. This shit ideology will eat it's creators first and it will be beautiful.
Did I mention there was large prominent graffiti on our center calling for removal of Brahmins and baniyas from campus and most savarnoid foids thought it was empowering?

Just read the article - always heard about this but never put the name to it.
Lol at all of the seethe in responses from the social sciences etc especially the one guy who was like "Sokal didn't understand the ideas he was criticising therefore his criticism is meaningless".
Like dude, take the L, Sokal proved that there is little rigour when bullshit postmodernist thought (apparently not even used or understood correctly) is used as a lense on scientific principles because the postmodernist thinkers are flattered at the idea of being found legitimate but the club of scientists that they resent but secretly want approval and acceptance from.
Also frick Foucault and Derrida - I did "Critical Thinking 101" and there was very little critical thinking in it. It was "think hard but make sure you arrive at the conclusions of these philosophers (who we worship and uncritically deify)". The inductive and deductive reasoning stuff was fun though.
