"It is interesting to compare Queer Theory with Vedanta and Buddhism both of which consider linguistic categories as relative to our world of cognition. Categories are seen as constructed by the ego’s cognitive system. The relative realm we live in is the laukika /empirical realm. The paramarthika or absolute reality transcends all categories. In this sense, what Queer Theory is claiming has long ago been thoroughly explained in Indian thought."
