Mr. Bhajji has been banned for 11 IPL (Indian Premier League) cricket matches. This punishment has been meted out to him by IPL authority for slapping Mr. Srishanth , a fellow cricketer, during the hand shaking ceremony after a cricket match in which Mr. Bhajji’s team Mumbai Indians and lost out to Mt. Srishanth’s team , Punjab Kings Eleven. Both the players have played for Indian National Cricket at the international level as members. They have been partners, among others, to many wins and losses of Indian team. Both of them are aggressive on the field. But nobody thought that they would be involved in on the ground violence in front of a crowds in thousands.
In IPL matches both of them were representing different team. Punjab Kings Eleven won in a dramatic finish in the last moments. This seems to have annoyed Mr. Harbhajan Singh (aka Bhajji). Mr. Srishanth said something to Bhajji at hand shaking ceremony and got slapped. The authority have slapped a punishment on Bhajji.
But it seems that IPL has gone beyond Indian ethos established over a period of thousands of years. The ethos thus developed can not be questioned because they are part and part of the civilization of this subcontinent, even when millions of eyes are watching it at international level.
Bhajji is much senior to Srishant and hence like an elder brother to Srisanth and both of them , now, call each other so.
Now those who are aware of traditional ethos of this civilization (Indian) should know that elder brother carries a lot of respect and moral power over younger brother. It is uttermost disgraceful for a younger brother to even talk back to back to elder brother. He is duty bound to do so. Otherwise he should gain infamy as possessing rudeness and destroying the civilizational ethos. His job is simply to say “Aye Aye sir.” If you disagree with it, you may see the number of star cricketing personalities coming in defence of Bhajji for slapping Srishanth !!!
Such a reflection of ethos are found in such support. An international blot does not matter for such people.
Bhajji as elder brother has every right to beat the younger brother in front of public and media for the mistake he made. The punishment was just.
It was his right !! The rights are, here, relative as Amartyo Sen agrees.
It was not Srisanth’s right to object against or complaint against such beating.
So the task of going against Indian ethos was taken up IPL itself. It is like insulting Indian cultural values at the international level. Thousands of years have gone into developing such a culture and now some people who are afraid of international backlash take such action. Such cowards, buckling before the Eurocentric model of ethics. They are bringing shame to Indian traditions. For this they are going to take birth as worms and dogs and jackals in their next birth courtesy infallible law of KARMA.
Even Srisanth is no Saint. He has been very aggressive player on the cricket. And per reports he is quite used to use expletives on playing ground. He is said to have abused Bhajji at hand shaking ceremony.
A younger brother abusing elder brother?
Horror of horrors.
Bhajji replied back in true traditional convention of Indian ethos. These outsiders will never understand and some of Indians are also speaking their language. What is going to happen to rich great cultural heritage and ethos??
If one goes by Bhajji’s aggressive attitude and also using the language of choice then doubt may be cast upon the laundering of Bhajji’s racist remarks (“monkey”) against Andrew Symonds on Australian cricketing tour of Indian team, by Sachin Tendulkar.
Sachin Tendulkar ???????
Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian cricketing, next only to legendry Australian batsman Sir Don Bradman, his bonafide are impeccable, his greatness proven. His sincerity was never in doubt. He is icon and role model for billion Indians. He is well respected at the international level. Then he is suspect of laundering the racist remarks!!!!!
The solidarity does strange things to people.
Long live traditional Indian ethos.
