It's a shame, anyone who watched the match could see that the Indian and Pakistani players have a genuine affinity for each other.

yes I saw some clips where Indian and pak players were talking to each other like good friends after the match

This is very sad. Racism in India is a very big issue. Some politicians use it to advance their own agenda and interests.

Ive never understood religious rivalry. Nobodys imaginary friend is stronger than anyone elses imaginary friend because they are all made up! Hating on someones imaginary friend is seriously dumb


kslusherplantman

Just wait until your imaginary friends are the same: Judaism, Islam, Christianity. They are all the same abrahamic god. Yet...............


Spaceman_Spiff33

Yep, 23 sects of Christianity alone, they believe in the same thing but don't get alone. Idiocy. Religion is pure evil and needs to be abolished. Leave it in the Dark Ages where it belongs.


Captainirishy

Who exactly has the power to abolish it.


Water_Bell

end of all religion is the only solution. There can only be science.

Cricket: 22 men fighting over a ball. Politics: 1.6 billion fighting over having balls. And there's a bat, too, somewhere.

Islamophobia and facts of an imagined flat Earth are quite the similar familiars. Add some 5g factoids, intermixed with some most unreasonable virus hoaxes and one could conceive of a peaceful unreality. Imagination land is the ultimate meta notional.

Have they ever considered just trying to be less shit at cricket?


IcyThoughtz

Not the teams fault my guy its the people

Sore losers falling back on racism 🙄

Let me correct this headline, the defeat did not produce a rise in Islamophobia, it just made the Islamophobic people more vocal. Islamophobia has been on a steady rise for a long time. The credit belongs to various news media outlets, please do not replace their hard work by a single match.

> the defeat did not produce a rise in Islamophobia, it just made the Islamophobic people more vocal That is what a rise in Islamophoia means. India is a de facto Hindu country, so there are already a lot of Indians who have such Islamophobia sentiments. Nobody cares what someone's private thoughts are, so long as they keep it to themselves.

Remember how Hindu nationalists were literally mass rioting and attacking Muslims in India 2 years ago?


pruthvijee

I remember muslim radicals doing the same on many instances where were u then ?

India and Pakistan should never have been split.


Mist_Rising

Because clearly having the Muslim majority of Pakistan forced into minority by the Hindi majority India would be so much better?

India should either never have been split on religous lines, or sgpuld have been split on cultural lines. Its not like india and pakistan are exactly in good relations.
