At 4 minutes 20 seconds, Sohail Tanvir says Hinduon ki zehenihat hi aisi hai…
Wonder what his team mate Danish Kaneria will now think, I wonder why no one else bothered to post about this, these comments were made on a mainstream show and neither the hosts or anyone else seems to care.
If this had happened in India with some Hindu cricketer commenting on a Muslim player …well you all know what would have happened.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
Did he say Hindu-auN ki OR inn logoN ki ...it's confusing.
But if he did say Hindu than that's deplorable. Don't worry he will pay the price for it.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
i think its the intentions that count. Hindu is shorthand in Pakistan for Indian, in which case he is spot on on the Indian mentality.
Everyone knows that Kaneria is a valuable part of the team and in context theres nothing against him.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
deplorable if he meant Hindu in strict religious terms, but time and again, I have come across people (even educated ones) who use this erroneous vernacular in Pakistan - so I'm inclined to discount his statement somewhat... he might simply have meant "Indian" as ravage noted above.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
I see rav and LC's points but no matter how you twist it, it's hard to swallow what he said. What's wrong is wrong.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
lets not be literalists. the whole conversation seems to be on IPL. I doubt he had any idea that he would be construed as talking about Danish Kaneria.
Unfortunate phrasing, sure. Evidence of racism against Hindus? A bit of a stretch. Please bear in mind that these people dont really rely on their speaking skills to make a living.

I'm not saying it's not wrong... just pointing out that he might not have meant it that way. I can cite plenty of instances where as a moderator, I've corrected posts here on GS where a poster used similar language, whether knowingly or out of ignorance.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
He didn't say "hinduon ki zehniyat". It sounded more like "in logon ki zehniyat". The audio was cutting in and out, so it's hard to figure out what exactly was said.
I don't think anyone in this day and age is bigoted enough to say "hinduon ki zehniyat", especially high profile athletes.

I am also not going to try and justify what he said although I know what he said was in the heat of the moment. That interview was done a day (or even less than a day) after the IPL drama on January 19th.
You would think that being a professional they all are polished and have good public speaking skills, which they should have. But no, most of them are just like us and remember we all were upset too that day.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
Check at 5:00 when the panelist asks a pretty inflammatory question referring to hindus. Tanvir's response was a measured one, saying it's politics and players don't get involved in politics.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
Dil ki baat zubaan par aa hi gayee 
He didnt have any qualms taking money from Hindus in IPL1…
or may be he learnt about their zehniat in IPL1 
tumhari zehniat he aisi hay
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
Well he is not alone, even indian Dalits say the same about fundamentalist upper caste hindus.
But I think there are some good hindus as well, so he should not have generalised.
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
yeh, you know this because your maikaywalay are all indian Dalit, right Mr. Dee? :)
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
Don't be so insecure queer. Stay on the topic.
… yet he was “lining up” for IPL 3 
Sohail Tanveer given Indian visa for IPL
LAHORE: Test cricketer Sohail Tanvir has said that he has got visa for India to feature in the third edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), Geo news reported on Wednesday night.
His observation got confirmed/validated in that episode 
Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
Well its not an intelligent thing to say but it was very clear that he was very distressed about what Indians did. Its definetly nice nice towards Danish.
