Brahmanical Patriarchy is a derisive phrase against Hindus used by leftists in India.

Civil activists demand change in Religious Traditions

Leftists demand change in religious traditions. From an article in India dated January 10 2019:[1]

"In a letter to the Chief Minister of Kerala, the President of India, Chief Justice of India and the Governor of Kerala, over 200 women’s activists, Dalit activists, Adivasi activists, human rights groups, social organisations, cultural personalities and well-known citizens demanded the dismissal of priests in Sabarimala over violation of constitutional rights and returning the shrine to Adivasis."

Twitter's Jack Dorsey holds sign "Smash Brahmanical Patriarchy"

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey met a group of activists in India in November 2018 "for an off-the-record conversation." From an article from a leftist perspective where he held up a sign by Equality Labs referencing Brahmanical Patriarchy:[2],[3]

"However, a photo of him from the session did make it to to the outside word, in which he was seen holding a poster titled “smash Brahmanical patriarchy”.
"The photo set off a storm. “By holding that offensive poster Twitter head, Jack just proclaimed he is a Brahmin hating, racist, bigot, masquerading as a woke Feminist,” thundered columnist Smita Barooah. Mohandas Pai, chairman of Manipal Global Eduction, called it a “hate poster” which served to “malign a community” and Bollywood screenwriter Advaita Kala termed it “hate speech”. Most confusingly, Chitra Subramaniam, editorial advisor with Republic TV, drew an analogy between Brahmanical patriarchy and Chinese totalitarianism, rhetorically asking whether Dorsey would ever “hold up a poster asking Xi Jinping to hold free and fair elections?”
