Re: Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus
- i didnt say they were interchangeable, because that would imply i agree with it. i dont, its not politically correct to say Hindus in place of Indians, and it alienates the Hindus in our country. And it isnt entirely accurate, just as saying Goras inplace of "Australian/English" would exclude the small, underrepresented, often discriminated against, wholly out of the ruling class, segment of minorities.
- Why is that stupid, given the confirmation of this by the IPL franchise owners. The (violent) opposition to Pakistani cricketers is clearly from the extreme Hindu section of the country, and so it makes sense to criticize backward retrogressive mentality in that segment of the country instead of all Indians.
- My comment is with reference to the OP, who commented that this indicated his attitude towards people like Kaneria.

with that said, i don't think it's shocking or even that bad. i think it's reflective of what a common pakistani would say and, if in reverse, what a common indian would say. however, the contrast is that you would never in a million years hear an indian cricketer saying something equivalent and that too on national television.
