Sohail Tanvir comments on Hindus

[ravage]

@nikhil25

i wasn’t making the comparison. but since you have…not all indian cricketers are civilized. but objectively, it’s pretty clear that as a group they’re a lot more civilized than their pakistani counterparts. this is also a function of differences in socioeconomic class and education level. nothing to get sensitive about.

if you want to cite my comment just copy/paste, don’t manipulatively paraphrase it to arrive at an alternate meaning.

i said the common indian can be expected to have such a view and that one would never see an indian cricketer making such comments. i never indian cricketers are common indians and i never said common indians wouldn’t make such comments on tv.

if we remove the manipulations, we arrive at the conclusion that indian cricketers would generally not hold such cheap views and that a common indian holding such views would not shy away from vocalizing them in a televised interview.

Please cite the objective basis here. I see no reason to grant the idea that indian cricketers are for some reason more ‘civilized’ even though ‘common indian’ and ‘common pakistani’ hold the same views. Whatever class distinction you are groping for, it is ridiculously hand-wavey, especially in light of you using words like ‘objective’.

Dont blame me for not parsing your comments in a marxist light, and it is natural to assume that cricketers hail from whatever ‘common’ indian/pakistani means. Can you substantiate your claim that indian cricketers as a group hail from a different class than ‘common indians’?
