A story from Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal has been creating multiple reactions on social media. A 24-year-old woman approached a family court against her father who defeated her in the popular board game ludo. Yes you read that right…!
Sarita Rajani, family court counsellor said,
The woman was defeated several times in Ludo games by her father in Bhopal. Nowadays, children are unable to endure defeat which is why such cases come up. They need to learn to accept defeat which is as important as winning.
This Is What Happened
During the lockdown period, the young woman, her two siblings and their father used to play the indoor board game. However, after losing a game, the young woman developed bitter feelings against her own father, which increased over time and the family had to undergo counselling sessions to resolve the issue.
The woman lost respect for her father, hated him and even wanted to snap all ties with him as he went on to defeat her. After the game, she didn’t even want to call him a “father”.
Rajani added,
A 24-year-old young woman had come to us and said that when she was playing Ludo with her siblings and father, her father killed her tokens (goti) and she felt it was a breach of trust. She said she had trusted her father a lot and didn`t expect to be defeated by him.
Not just this the young girl also felt that her father should have lost in the game for the sake of her happiness. She started believing that there was no relationship between her and her father after the incident.
Family court counsellor further said,
Her father defeated her several times over time. Her anger increased and she stopped addressing him as a father. She has been counselled four times till now and the situation is improving. We will find a positive solution.
Rajani said the girl kept her feelings within herself, did not share with anyone in the family but decided to seek counselling in the matter. She said the young woman is currently pursuing her studies, and the family lives in Bhopal city. The girl does not have a mother and she is the youngest of three siblings.
Concluding the matter, Rajani said,
People have high expectations from family members and if there is a slight shortcoming, it causes tensions. Nowadays, children are unable to bear defeat.
Here’s how social media reacted!

The woman should have been lauded for questioning patriarchy in recreational games cheating. Instead, she has been pushed into psychological counseling, that too by another woman! What a joke!
I’m feeling ashamed as a New Holland 5500 Turbo Super tractor.

“Smash the patriarchy !
Forget Ludo, any game where females lose to males is misogyny.
And if the judge rules against me, I will feel like Draupdi in bhari Sabha.”
This is what warped feminism & lop sided female laws have brought about.— Krishna Kant Sharma (@krishnakant_75) September 26, 2020
Smashing patriarchy the “Ludo” way…

Suppressing game of lady child! This is completely not acceptable. We may loose a national champion in Ludo. Women empowerment became joke here. Feminists must join and fight this growing patriarchy.
