I declare my retirement as a Cricket fan

[Bhaijaan]

Dealing with immense emotional turmoil after seeing Tendulkar's tweet today in support of Modi government.

Ganguly, Kohli, Shastri were already known puppets of the BJP government.

Seeing Sachin and even Kumble today going the same direction has broken my heart as a life long Cricket fan.

No sport is bigger for me than human rights and for that matter i am officially done with supporting Indian cricket team for its continuous brown nosing of this fascist government.

Sachin, I wish you did better. Shame on you.

[JaDed]

So peace in supporting protests or right to protests? Which one is it though?

If it makes you feel any better Dravid hasn’t said a thing, don’t think Dhoni has either.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Personally I have never really had much trouble separating sport from politics to a certain degree, but I guess it hits home more when it's your own idols. For me Sacin was always an enemy soldier, something about his manner just screamed hindutva Chucky doll with a bat instead of a kitchen knife.

That said I still enjoyed his batting just because he was so good. Maybe it's easier when you can see these guys as alien entities.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

I find the whole thing farcical. Modi demonises Muslims as his base policy but suddenly despite Kashmir, he brings in an unfavorable law and the usually elite farmers have the world mourning them. Wut

 

[sshakir411]

Honest question to Indians: can you be famous and oppose Modi without fearing backlash? Are there any examples of famous Indians who didn’t get trashed for it? I genuinely want to know.

Akshay Kumar gets thrashed for supporting BJP as well , there will always be opposing opinions.

Irrespective Kamal Hassan or many South film-stars do it easily opposing BJP

 

[King_Kohli]

All I wanna say is LOL...

Everyone has a right to their own opinion.
Everyone has a right to say what they believe and what they don’t.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I will continue to stand up for human rights in Time Pass section.

But i hope my fellow posters will understand and empathize with me for what I am going through given everything that Sachin meant to me growing up.

I wish I never lived this day.

But it happened.

I lived long enough to see my childhood hero Sachin side with the fascists.

 

[CricketCartoons]

Welcome to being a Time Pass specialist. Together we can and we will make this world a better place.

 

[Technics 1210]

It shouldn't come as a shock; the signs were always there. He was known as Sachin 'Shiv Sena' Tendulkar in the outer circles, especially when he was chasing his 100th century in Mumbai.

He was never the sportsman (cue Hockey tweet after CT17).

This is what happens when you fall in love for stats instead of a quality human being.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Welcome to being a Time Pass specialist. Together we can and we will make this world a better place.

Thanks bro.

I respect your originality.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

It seems a really silly tweet when you consider that it happened in response to a pop star tweeting. I know Rihanna is a global icon and has made some global hits but I don't think is trying to compromise Indias sovereignty and India must be really weak if it considers badgirl riri an external force trying to divide it.

I found Ghambirs tweet absolutely hilarious to be honest.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

SRT didn't write that tweet, neither does he think in that manner.

It was tweeted by his PR people.

Don't blame him, he lives in a fascist society, so he has to follow the whole dramay baazi.

It's similar to CT final. But of course, this time the matter is infinitely more serious.

SRT is not a politician, he is a simple guy who has kept happy more than a billion people since he was a teenager. I never met him but the way people who played with or against him speak about him, should tell you that he supports farmers' cause.

Oh and no other sports comes closer to cricket. Maybe basketball but nothing else.

 

[CricketCartoons]

Never liked tendulkar, and what he tweets doesn't matter. He brought a certain manhoosiyat when batting, even though he would play good shots and make runs, there was a loserish vibe about him.

Lol cmon man. So Sachin’s official Twitter account is a mouthpiece for his PR people? It’s his account, his name is on it and it speaks for him.

Tendulkar isn’t cricket.

I was pretty upset when my hero Mike Gatting went to South Africa.

I just got new heroes. Fraser, Robin Smith, Stewart.

You are having a laugh. Even if we grant your opinion, why doesn't he ask his PR team to delete the tweet if he doesn't think in that manner?

Sachin always has the final authority on what goes out of his Twitter handle. If he disagreed with the content, he would have made that clear and not tweeted anything at all. The PR people might be to blame, but SRT is no victim here.

#StandWithFarmers

I don't think you quite understand the reality between the farmers' protests and Tendulkar's role.

1. Tendulkar, Kolhi, Shastri, Gambhir etc. tweeted to support the Indian government following tweets by foreign airheads like Rhianna, Greta Thunberg and Mia Khalifa (if you don't know what she is famous for, I suggest you google her name). Perfectly legitimate to tell foreign airheads to keep out of stuff they don't understand.

2. The farmers' protests is about rich farmers wanting to keep the existing system of subsidies in place, and is supported by rich and politically powerful farm lobbies in Punjab, Maharashtra etc. The farm lobby in Maharashtra is dominated by Marathas like Sharad Pawar, and Tendulkar is a Konkani Brahmin. So he probably is inclined to view the matter differently.

 

[Snow]

You can watch the cricket and hope that all of his records get broken. The man cared about his personal milestones than anyone. Good guy, but lacked spine through out his 25 years career.

 

[PakLFC]

Can we expect you to rejoin the Cricket family should Modi reverse his decision?. If you are such a humanitarian then should have retired from the day your military started killing innocent Kashmiris or are these long suffering people not human enough for you?. So it takes these farmers to make you see what your government is. Your love of Cricket should be unrelated to what ex players of celebrities think.

 

[Snow]

"India’s sovereignty cannot be compromised. External forces can be spectators but not participants.
Indians know India and should decide for India. Let's remain united as a nation." - Sachin Tendulkar

What if Hitler said that.

 

[PakLFC]

I don't think you would have stopped supporting India had your ex cricketers like Sachin condoned atrocities on Kashmiris like they are on the farmers. Now that the world is witnessing Indian fascism you are suffering and being humiliated in front of the world. When IK called Modi as being Hitler like Indian people were in complete denial. Now sit back and let the sparks fly, trouble for India has only started.

 

[PakLFC]

Balle balle shera!. When Kashmiris were being butchered the Indian Punjabis were calling them terrorists. Now that Indian Punjabis are being put to the sword they have turned humanitarians!! Too little, too late.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Most people cannot process what i am going through. You may say whatever but my heart broke yesterday seeing my childhood hero become just another guy, becoming a PR tool for the unjust government, showing zero empathy for my farmers brethren and even foolishly criticizing international support when as global citizens we all should and must raise our voice for those who are badly in need.

I find this unprecedented because he's not done something like this before.

I'm sorry, but I cannot forgive Sachin for turning his back on the people.

There will be backlash and word will soon reach to him and it must unsettle him, Anjali bhabhi, the kids and the family.

An unnecessary tweet but a huge blot on his legacy.

I hope he makes a defensive statement soon. It should show he still has moral compass pointed in the right direction. For everything he's done, he is allowed one bas tweet probably.

This applies only to Sachin however.

Ganguly, Kohli, Shastri have permanently tarnished their image as BJP puppets and I should never ever support such people no matter what.

 

[Bhaijaan]

My message to 'some' Pakistanis bringing up Kashmir issue on this thread is that everything is not about you always. I need not defend myself on Kashmir because my posts over the years speak for myself about where I stand as far as any government's approach on human rights is concerned.

If you are going to compare what happened yesterday with old tweets celebrating an Indian win, then i need not even discuss anything with you for you need to prove some intellect and make a genuine point of discussion.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tendulkar isn’t cricket.

I was pretty upset when my hero Mike Gatting went to South Africa.

I just got new heroes. Fraser, Robin Smith, Stewart.

Thanks Robert bro.

Water has gone over my head this time since the captain, the coach, the BCCI president and now even our most iconic cricketer ever have all publicly proven they are puppets of one political party which is hell bent on destroying our social fabric.

It is unforgivable.

Cricket is nice but it is not bigger than people.

As long as Indian cricket is headed by these people, my conscience will not allow me to support them.

 

[CricketCartoons]

An unnecessary tweet but a huge blot on his legacy.

His legacy is already blotted. Ball tampering. Not paying tax on imported car and throwing a tantrum when asked to do so. Declaring himself as an actor to save taxes. Lying on oath on Monkeygate. Always having narrow views on cricket, that he wishes that an indian breaks his records, and being sour when other teams do well. You had the wrong idol, don't blame him. You should have discarded him long time back.

So he probably is inclined to view the matter differently.

If only Sachin was just another guy, which i now sadly realise he is and has been.

I never cared when Akshay Kumar , Gambhir, Kohli , Ganguly etc would tweet these things. They were never huge icons in my eyes hence when they sided with the fascists it came neither as a surprise nor a disappointment.

Sachin, is an emotion.

He should have probably kept quiet once again as he has for decades steering clear from sensitive matters.

He's human too after all and with so much internet and the compulsion to post (needlessly), this day too had to come after all.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Hundreds of Indian celebrities copy pasted this yesterday with the hash tag #IndiaAgainstPropaganda

With this, SRT became just another guy.

Deservingly getting backlash for this. I'm sure he's already regretting. Feeling bad for the family.

 

[Technics 1210]

This is why Rahul Dravid is 100 times the man Sachin is.

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is why Rahul Dravid is 100 times the man Sachin is.

We live in a weird world. A photo of Dravid promoting some BJP/RSS book was circulating yesterday. Stuff like this make you question everything.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Honest question to Indians: can you be famous and oppose Modi without fearing backlash? Are there any examples of famous Indians who didn’t get trashed for it? I genuinely want to know.

They are very scared to speak against the government.

Muslim celebs, even if they are big, like for example Naseeruddin Shah who is a legend, are not even taken seriously. They are just looked at as Pakistanis.

Deepika Padukone went tk JNU to stand with the students there protesting against government but was trolled and abused mercilessly. I have not heard from her ever since on any political matter.

That's about it.

Indian celebs simply lack spine.

But I don't know what the celeb word is doing there because quite frankly the sad truth is that Indian people in general lack spine.

 

[WengerOut]

I fear for the career of Shubhman Gill especially with Jay Shah gaining power every day. First sign of failure, he might not even play Ranji.

 

[Belawal2014]

That's why one must always separate the art from the artist, so to speak. Condolences, bhaijaan.

 

[Bhaijaan]

From where i come, I have seen the farmers protest from the ground. These people, God Bless their soul, have put everything on the line for the sake of their rights and deserve all the sympathy and support they can get.

My humble request to all Pakistanis and Foreign nationals to support us in our hour of need while we fight the tyrants in India.

Rest assured it will all come to a full circle.

The Kashmir issue, the students protests, the CAA bill, the farmers protest, we are slowly but substantially gathering under one banner.

Together we are stronger.

A fight for human rights and democracy.

 

[Bhaijaan]

As a small step, I have unfollowed all Indian cricketers from social media platforms.

Have unfollowed BCCI, IPL, Indian cricket team pages.

On the contrary i am now following Sanjay Manjrekar, for he spoke for muslims during CAA protests after which Ganguky took his job.

These are verg small steps and probably will not matter at all in the grand scheme but i feel immediately better at not being follower and supporter of people who have sided with the fascists during our struggle.

Remember how offended you were with the weekly sachin bashing thread. One of the worst hits to take is the death of a dream. But I am sure now you will use the same fierce loyalty to speak against the fascists who are breaking the social fabric of this great country.

India was never as much divided as it is now. We are probably on the opposite ends of the centrifuge. My dream ended too and found everything I was told and believed in was a lie. After that I have been reciprocating what I got from this world, sometimes hating without reason. But somewhere, there is still a bit of conscience left which leaves me guilty which I refuse business or employment to people from certain category, but I do it anyway.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Tbh he cant do much can he. Why should he say no to the establishment? There is so much to lose.

 

[PakLFC]

I am afraid like it or not the Kashmir issue does involve Pakistan but what is happening in Indian Punjab by and large does not. As the Indian media with it's idiots like Arnab Goswami like to comment on Baluchistan it is fun to show them the mirror here no doubt about it. I am not going to deny as a Pakistani how wonderful it is to see this chaos in Indian Punjab coz you reap what you sow. Now that Indian's are accepting they have been fed lies by their media and government over the years perhaps they will respect even believe the Pakistani position more then ever before. Most major Indian celebrities are compelled to support the government's stance for the sake of their bread and butter. When Punjabis like Sunny Deol, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh and Akshay Kumar are supporting the Indian government then why should a non Punjabi like Sachin not do so as well? The likes of megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan seem to be ignoring the whole thing altogether, why??. Not exaggerating when I say this will become this biggest threat to the Indian union since independence.

#StandWithFarmers

I don't think it's a big deal tbh. It's not his words, it's someone else's. His Twitter account was just a medium. If he had felt strongly enough about it, he would have spoken about it earlier. But he usually doesn't comment on issues like these that would cause controversy.

Either way, no matter which side he is on, he shouldn't be demonized for having an opinion. I hope more public figures in India can speak their mind on political issues without fearing the consequences of it.

 

[CricketCartoons]

I am afraid like it or not the Kashmir issue does involve Pakistan but what is happening in Indian Punjab by and large does not.

Didn't read the rest as this is so wrong. The link to Kashmir is through Punjab. Pakistan, if it wants to change the status quo in Kashmir, has the easiest option to use the chaos in Indian Punjab. Punjab falls, Kashmir falls.

 

[PakLFC]

Sorry to be a killjoy but I don't know even one Pakistani who supports India after what they have been doing in Pakistan over the years. There are zillions of good Indian people who will have to suffer as well in all this chaos. I wonder how Indian players who line up versus England will be fascists and if the fans will support them??. Think about it. I won't be surprised if the Indian team soon start doing the Nazi salute.

[Bhaijaan]

Just a reminder, i am not going to be waving Pakistani flag or be wishing the Indian team loses any matches for my stand against the GOI on their ideology and hateful politics.

I stand for the rights of people all over the world be it Hindus, muslims, blacks or browns.

I will also continue to be a vocal critic of the wrong doings by Pakistan and it's government just as I speak up against GOI.

Cause of humanity is bigger than national boundaries.

Anyone who makes this an India-Pakisyan issue is part of the problem we are fighting against.

It's time for a revolt.

Entire subcontinent must sand up for their rights and freedom.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sure Pak has many problems but nothing like what is happening in India. Many Pakistanis are questioning our policies as well, i am one off them. There is no compulsion to read or reply to my comments so walk on if you find them so burdensome. What did you just say about free speech? I realise it hurts when the shoe is on the other foot and it should do so as well. All your Hindu-Muslim bhai bhai and secularism is being ripped apart in front of the world. Your anger is understandable. Unlike India the Pakistan has never claimed to be champions of any humanitarian values.

That was my point, that no side is on the right. So the fight is not between innocents and fascists.

Islam is divine justice but Muslim's are not. There is a difference between a belief system and people who claim to follow it. Islam is perfect where as Muslims are as human as other communities. '

So you would understand then that if a country claims to be champions of human rights but the people act differently then they are just the same as muslims.

I disagree. The farmers will get more support from allover India when Modi refuses to backdown.

They won't. You don't get it. A lot of the public supports the farm laws. They see the protesting farmers in Punjab/Haryana as Khalistanis/Congress puppets that don't know any better because that's the image that's being made of them through news/social media. The argument is that it's only Punjab/Haryana farmers protesting and not those from the rest of India. If it was farmers all over India protesting then that would be another thing. Even then, they would find a way to brand them as being swayed by Congress.

Human rights is not a religious belief. If you were to say Hinduism is perfect but Hindu's are not then I would understand you.

I get it good and proper big daddy! I know most people are not with Modi and are not fascists. The rest of the country will start protesting as well, currently they are waiting and hoping that this does not snowball in to something bigger. Modi and his goon's will not back down, only way is to start a war with Pak or China to divert attention from this protesting but that obviously has many problems itself. Every civil war starts of slowly.

It is the western countries who are champions of human rights. Not perfect by any means yet there standards are the highest no doubt about it which is why everyone wants to be there. Countries where millions starve or live on the streets are not even in the race for goodness sake. What's the matter with you lad's!!?

Then you have no idea, mate. I know the conversations people have in real life, both old and young. I've seen the messages spread on WhatsApp and Facebook groups. I know how people think. Modi enjoys big support. They think he's doing great for the country. Just like Sachin Tendulkar, he's almost a God-like figure in the eyes of many people in the sense that he can do no wrong. And even in the case of the farm laws, they support the Modi government and not the protesting farmers.

Sorry to hear it bro.

We have all seen our role models and heroes demystified and thoroughly humanised at times. It isn’t an easy thing to go through.

Keep posting on Time Pass. You are one of the greats

So you had heroes not based on pure cricket talent, but because of their passport?

That’s a non sequitur. I mean that cricket didn’t die for me as soon as Gatting took the Rand. There will always be new players to like.
