Intersectionality

The term "intersectionality" was coined by an African-American academic, Kimberlé Crenshaw, in 1989 to denote the circumstance of being the target of more than one bias. Crenshaw saw herself as the potential victim of both anti-black racism and misogyny, thereby living at the intersection of the two bigotries.

Politicians, secularists and intelligentsia are turning a blind eye to the predicament of upper caste Hindu youngsters who are facing more than one bias on college campuses: the supposed shared, "intersecting," predicaments of being told that

1. They are the progeny from those Hindus, who were exploitative and discriminating against other Hindus, and for which, penalty and compensation are being extracted from the offspring; and that
2. They must to be tolerant and accommodating for any and every call from Muslims since Muslims are in minority, irrespective of the fact that these Muslims are also a progeny from those Muslims who have recent history of subjugation, savagery, ruining, exploiting and butchering the majority Hindu natives of this land.

How do our children deal with the confusion that an upper caste Hindu pays for the sins for which the cohorts of his ancestors are accused of while a Muslim has no such requirement? Is it a modern 'Jizya' or 'jizyah' levied on non-Muslims by a secular but Muslim-vote obsessed Indian politicians? Would someone please advise how to deal with such questions and what answers to give when the teenagers and youngsters bring this home?

We have brought up our children as secular Hindus; and guided them to be Humanity-obsessed.
