Syria-Lebanon-Iran
She's a Brilliant Chess Grandmaster, and She Stood Up to Iranian Head Scarf Bullies. [VIDEO]
2018-06-15
[Victory Girls] One of the most plucky women from this easily-triggered, #MeToo generation is a 29-year-old from India you’ve never heard of. However, you should know how she stood up for her rights in the face of Islamic oppression.

Her name is Soumya Swaminathan, and not only is she courageous, she’s also brilliant. That’s because Soumya is a woman Grandmaster Chess champion, as well as a former World Junior Girls’ champion.

So what makes her brave? It’s because she refused to bow to the Muslim overlords in Iran.

Next month the Asian Team Chess Championship will be held in Hamadan, Iran, and Soumya was set to participate as a member of the Indian team. However, Iran also has that compulsory head scarf rule for women. And Soumya was not about to bow to their religious demands.
