A new research is somehow concluding that Indian society is patriarchal, sexist, toxic, casteist, and oppressive.
Here is why it is problematic and dangerous:
1. Not a single page on health risks of obesity.
The entire focus is on how “fatness” is a site of discrimination. In other words: not the body, but the politics of the body. Epistemology replaced with activism.
2. The methodology? “Qualitative.”
Meaning: no data, no measurement, no falsifiability.
What exactly is the quality? Cultural texts aka films.
Take Western social-justice theories, apply them to two Bollywood films, and declare the findings as India’s social reality. A prêt-à-porter ideology fitted onto Indian society with tailor’s chalk.
3. The introduction confidently asserts that “fat women are doubly discriminated.”
Evidence? None. No surveys, no fieldwork, no psychometric sampling.
Only two fictional films.
This is not research—this is Sabrina Strings cosplay, imported wholesale, stapled to Indian society, and passed off as sociology.
4. Then comes the standard incantation:
“Butler on domination… heterosexual order… girls taught to be passive… boys encouraged to be sexually aggressive…”
These are hypotheses in American gender theory, not gospel truths. Butler is not a census.
Turning speculative philosophy into “Indian reality” isn’t scholarship. It is just theological zealotry dressed as research.
5. At one point, the authors even claim men face less beauty-based discrimination.
Anyone who has lived in Indian society for five minutes knows this is laughable. But ideology requires blind spots; reality is merely an inconvenience.
6. The conclusion is the climax:
“Fat women become undesirable… emotional and physical bond with husbands is shattered… sexuality governed by male-dominated society.”
This is not a conclusion; it is wartime propaganda.
No data. No sample. No statistical model.
Just an ideological monologue projected onto society via two films—like using Marvel movies to reconstruct US foreign policy.
What’s happening here is clear:
A new political identity is being manufactured for the next generation.
Fatness → victimhood → discrimination → patriarchy → activism → funding → discourse.
This is not harmless.
Public institutions are being turned into printing presses for imported ideological constructs.
What exactly is the societal value addition of such “studies”?
How does any of this improve health, education, welfare, mobility, or opportunity?
We are paying to produce narratives, not knowledge.
And this needs to be stopped!
