[VID] "Don't call them Bengalis call them Bangladesh or you also risk being banned" : Sarfaraz Ahmed

[SarfiBabarHaris]

rubbish... he was sincere and i think he did a good thing..bigotry should be reprimanded at all times..showed what all Pakistani captains should behave like..and he has clearly learnt from his past experience..

Well said.
Finally some sanity.

It seems like hating Sarfaraz is the flavor of the month and every aira ghaira nitto khaira is pouncing on the oppurtunity. Those who cant even read 2 sentences of Urdu are lecturing how it is done in Pakistan and in Urdu.

exactly..half the stuff gets lost in translation..listen closely for goodness sake..

He says it clearly "yay ghai ikhlaqi baat hay aur nahin kehni chayayay app ko"

I mean you cant get clearer than that in urdu!! Also i think many here dont get the humour..urdu humour can be both tongue and cheek but serious at the same time...

enough of this bakwaas,,

Can PCB end this torture? Sarfraz is not clearly fit to lead the team. His intelligence level is really low if he thinks calling a Bangladeshi as Bengali is the same as calling an African as "Abay Kaalay". His apology was fake and it looks like he has no remorse.

You haven't spent any time in Pakistan and acting as an expert with zero knowledge of the ground realities.



In Karachi, the word "Bengali" is often used as a derogatory term for a dark skinned person. That is why Sarfaraz corrected the reporter. Don't run mouth without knowledge.

It just shows the poor upbringing of Sarfaraz and also the backward nature of the people of Karachi (if they truly consider the term bengali as a derogatory remark)

Pakistan itself has a sizable population who r of bengali origins. Does that mean they r always harassed for their ethnicity?

Even if some backward illiterate fools use bengali word in a negative way doesn't necessarily mean the captain of the national team should show the similar attitude and advocate that in a press conference.

Secondly he was taking a dig at the ban he got for making derogatory remark against that African player. This clearly shows that he hasn't learnt his lesson and he wasn't sincere in his apology.

He's a disgraceful human being without any self respect. It's a shame that he's the captain of a national team.

well the ground reality is that lets be honest...bengali is indeed a derogatory term in karachi atleast which is wrong..a dark skinned person is called sometimes a bengali just to take the mickey out of him..there are sayings like "do taali tere peeche do bangali"..also one of my managers at work who was from multan gave me advice "if u see a snake and a bengali..get rid of the bengali first" ( im putting this in an acceptable way to not get banned) ...disclaimer- these posts dont illustrate my way of thinking (racism is stupid)

Ssshhhh dont talk about such things as keyboard warriors who hardly have ever been to Pakistan and who cant read two sentences of Urdu know better that what is racist and what is not racist in Pakistan and in daily Urdu speaking in areas like Karachi.

 

[Mueez]

I do not see anything wrong in this statement.

It is a derogatory slang.

And it seems Sarfraz has learnt his lesson from his incident with Phelukwayo.

Bangladeshis are no longer 100% dark-skinned. We have Bangladeshis who look like white people. Some of our women are extremely fair and pretty.

Some of my relatives are actually Indians and Pakistanis by root. Their ancestors came to BD and got settled in BD.

I think, Sarfraz is right here, but as usual his choice of words are wrong and he is still salty (regarding his "kale" jaban).

First - yes, in PAK, at least in Karachi, Bangali is used as a derogatory word. Sarfraz is right in correcting the journalist - I myself have mentioned it many times here in PP that we are Bangladeshi, not Bangali or Bengali. Bangla (Bengali) is a language that's spoken by people of 2 different countries (Now multiple - lots of Canadian, British, US, AUS passport holders speak in Bengali now, but they don't hold BD or Indian Citizenship any more), just like English is spoken by Aussies, Yanks, Kiwis, Irish, Jamaican, Barbadians .... that doesn't mean they are English or British. I have seen many ignorant posters here using the term Bengali (often as a negative sense) for Bangladesh team, which is quite unfortunate. On record, I can say that apart from very few (brain washed) Bangladeshi citizens, I doubt how many are there to be recognized as Bengali. Even, tribal people in Bangladesh speaks in Bengali these days therefore terming any National based on their language is not right.

But, by mentioning his issue (more preciously his ban), he is not showing maturity here - he is PAK Captain and got banned for a raciest slur (doesn't matter what his motive or feeling is regarding racism), it should have buried there.
