Meh.. these bigots are everywhere in these parts of the world.

Hindu cricketers like Liton often get abused in Bangladesh when they display their Hindu -ness..

Old news!

As an Indian, does a cricketer thanking Allah swt bother you? or do you feel proud of diversity? Do you have a view on this?

 

[Vikram1989]

When 300 k people liked it, why to give headlines for idiots

Nothing new in Modis India.

Why would it bother me ? And why would I call them bigots if it bothered me too?

The tweet is there for all to see.

Likes don't necessarily mean anything. It's the comments that matter. Many would have liked it as it had a pic of India winning the trophy.

Don't get offended if anything is spoken about India.

Either have a proper answer or don't bother posting.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Unfortunate but the world, and the SC in particular, is full of narrow minded bigots.

 

[Statpadder Inc]

I am surprised by this, 300k people liked Siraj's post and he has received lots of love by fans online and offline.

A few pathetic trolls abusing him online doesn't tell the entire story

Litton Dad's wife even got threats by Bangladeshi Fans

 

[cricketjoshila]

These type of people exist everywhere. Siraj did nothing wrong.

Similarly all those who get riled up here when Hindu cricketers thank their gods or visit places or worship or talk about their religion fall, do they fall in the same bigot category?

Don't see the connection.

We are talking about Siraj here.

You want to discuss the world?

And by the way, the reason for bringing up Hindu cricketers who thank God etc is to show some of our friends here who constantly harp on Pakistan cricketers doing Sajda etc that the same happens in your world too.

Topic is Siraj/India.

 

[Sir Alex]

Seems to be on similar lines. Social media responses can easily be manipulated using bots and response farms. These operate on a commercial scale worldwide

In Shami's case many of the hate responses were noted to have originated from outside India, especially Pakistan.

All the time few idiots will be there and as it's social media it's easy to get away as anonymous. So instead of worrying and spoiling the happiness ,we should hope these idiots will learn something.

Abdul Kalam in his Autobiography mentioned that in Israel, they never write about the deaths in the first page of a newspaper but they will write a scientific article which will help the country with hope .

I will prefer to stay positive and optimistic than being negative about few bigots as every country will have them

Well, it is only the idiots who get offended and comment on the tweet. India is a huge country with a very diverse population. It is expected and understood.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Yes bigots exist, nothing new.
Quite sure they exist everywhere

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Fabricated news. All these trolls are fake Hindu IDs from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Same thing was done with Mohd Shami.

We Indians respect each and everyone in our country. Mohd Shami, Zaheer, Tendulkar, Bedi, Engineer all are well respected in India but not likes of Azharuddin, Sreesanth or Ajey Sharma

 

[jnaveen1980]

Twitter is source of all the garbage. Look t the death threats Kohli's family received from a Rohit fan. I think he got banned too. His ID disappeared.

 

[Master Blaster]

Religion is used as a weapon both by fans and nations against each other.

The headline was Hindutva impact on cricketers.

Do Hindu cricketers start doing religious activities on the ground?

Different things.

Anyways coming to the topic, a cricketer thanking his god on his personal social media account is no one's business. His religion, his god, its between them. Anyone having any objections can go drown themselves in their tears.

But this thread is about Mohammed Siraj. Why are you downplaying it by bringing up Liton Das? Did you create a separate thread about Liton Das? Let's focus on the issues in India, where there are many bigots. This is why Feku became PM for the third time.

Yes all bad things in India either involve Indian Muslims or Pakistanis.

There is so bigotry in India whatsoever.

Does anyone else find it strange that suddenly Siraj is out of favor in ICT?
Hes the highest ranked ODI bowler with 70 wickets @ 24 in the format. A very very good bowler. As a Pakistani fan, I am really happy he’s not gonna be there.

Has incoming Saffron regime under Gambhir struck here?
I mean they are saying Harshit Rana is a backup to Bumrah. Harshit Rana? really? That sounds really really strange for a team that LOVES experience in ICC tournaments.

I know there is still Shami, but one by one I guess.

When will a Hindu player play for Pakistan? Siraj is dropped for form but 10/10 on your hypocrisy though.

Siraj has been rubbish for the last 15 ODIs he played .

Siraj is garbage. He was utter garbage in australia. It has nothing to do with religion.

Shami is there who is good

Whattttt?
He was the 4th highest wicket taker (20 wickets at 31) in BGT.

Currently the highest ranked ODI Indian fast bowler.

You’re saying Harshit Rana is better??

 

[Rajdeep]

This thread itself is about Hindu-muslim and so the post I was responding too. So I am not making anything up buddy.

I just find it amusing that Pakistanis who never allows any minority cricketer to play for their national team, finds islamophobia even when a non performing muslim bowlers gets dropped. If anything Siraj got a much longer rope in international cricket than he deserves with the kind of performance he was having.

Where i said rana is better?

Siraj sucked at australia and seems to be out of form. Plus india is playing UAE, so they need a better spin attack and lesser pacers

It is in poor taste regardless of whether it is you peddling this narrative or Pakistanis.

Siraj was OK in BGT at the very least.
You probably didn’t reach my original post.
India has said they are considering Harshit Rana as backup to Bumrah if he’s unfit. Are you telling me Harshit Rana is better option than Siraj.

In present form, yes Rana is a better bowler. Had a great IPL and did well in the only test match he got to play. Also, he is a bowling all rounder where as Siraj can't hold the bat.

Oh really.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Siraj is a srilankan team bully. Also he is a brainless clown. Not remotely close to shami in one dayers. Arshdeep is one of the most improved young bowler in the world. Rana looks unfit. But he has more variations than Siraj. So will be handy in death overs. But there are some other youngsters they could try.

 

[MP2011]

Rana also played the Pink test and failed miserably. Not that I hold that against him.

Oh yes...totally forgot he played the pink test too.

It is great to see Siraj back in some sort of form. He was brilliant in ODIs till the Asia cup and then went off the boil. If he regains his form back it will be great for Indian ODI team. Shami, Bumrah, Siraj and Arshdeep will be good ODI attack along with Pandya.

 

[deltexas]

Always good to see competition for the Ind team bowling spots. Augurs well for Ind. Bumrah Shami arshdeep siraj rana akashdeep etc - a good core of Ind pacers.

As an Indian, does a cricketer thanking Allah swt bother you? or do you feel proud of diversity? Do you have a view on this?

I know the question was put out to Mezonic but in general a typical Hindu Indian from an educated background will have no problem with it. Muslims aren't really a minority in this country and they are present in every walk of life living as free as a Hindu. There are exceptions to this, there are places where Muslim majority look try to dominate Hindus and vice versa. But those pockets are few and the media magnifies it. Also to put things in perspective most of us believe in Country first, religion next. So we don't mind if any cricketer thanks the God he believes in as long as he performs his best for the country and does not talk religion and politics( you might not really see Indian cricketers thank Hindu Gods atleast in public because like I said for most of us religion is secondary and comes after the country). We are proud of our diversity and are probably the only nation where 2 major world religions survive without too much of a problem.

Some of us though are pretty narrow minded irrespective of religion. When Shami did not fast for Ramzan or put photos of his ex wife not covered in a veil, some dogmatic Muslims had a problem, when the same cricketer does an Azaan, there are a bunch of Hindu folks who have a problem too.
