Happy Birthday to the brilliant Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak! May your celebrations be louder than the subaltern's voice you've tirelessly amplified. Your groundbreaking essay "Can the Subaltern Speak?" continues to echo through lecture halls, inspiring countless students and scholars alike—though we're still debating if we've fully understood it!Congratulations on receiving India's prestigious Padma Bhushan award; clearly, even post-colonial theorists can't resist shiny medals! Here's wishing you another year filled with insightful critiques, literary triumphs, and perhaps fewer people misquoting your theories at dinner parties. Keep challenging our minds—and occasionally confusing us—with your unmatched wit and wisdom. Happy birthday!
