Devi-complex

A unique psychopathology affecting, in particular, bourgeoisie Indian women of Bihari ethnicity. The affliction is characterized by a deep-seated belief in pagan Hindu deities; an inherent yearning to sacrifice self-interests for familial wellbeing; a recurring attitude of ethical superiority; and an affinity to equate one’s actions with the doctrine of divine sanctity. A subgenre of desi-feminism, Devi-complex manifests as a function of a conservative culture, an increasingly prejudiced and orthodox media, and an obnoxious society that collectively objectifies womanhood by contextualizing it to the extreme ends of the morality spectrum. Overall, this pervasive disorder undermines the interests of Indian women by rendering them vulnerable to psychoemotional manipulation.

Ma always said that all she ever needed from life was to watch her son be happy; an extreme case of Devi-complex, indeed.

Pull a Devi

To become cranky and abandon one's friends for an undetermined yet decidedly short period of time, only to come back and act like nothing at all has happened. Usually comes as the immediate result of either a gentle, affectionate joke towards one's mother or a more slanderous slur that may or may not have involved direct physical contact.

Did he pull a Devi yesterday?

Uh-oh, Josh pulled a Devi!

Corona Devi

The name of an idol made up of wood or stone set up by Hindu priests to represent the “coronavirus goddess,” whose mercy they pray for to contain the pandemic—food and chant prayers are usually offered before the deity, which is bathed in turmeric water and milk.

Just as there are gods and goddesses for all kinds of diseases and plagues, Corona Devi is the latest virus goddess to be idolized in temples—probably the deadliest deity that demands weeks- or months-long abstinence, fasting, and sacrifice from priests before she showers mercy on them.
