We must condemn the racists attacks on Indians.
Few Days back the Dalits Ravidassi were attacked by Jats the Upper caste manuvadis.None of the media or the bloggers could write or discuss.manuvadi Indians themselves are castists but don’t want to discuss about caste issues but they want to discuss Racism.
How many of us really show concern on the attacks on Dalits adivasis in india.How many of us protest or write about the caste atrocities in India.Dalits have been exlpoited since more than 2500 yrs in India.
Those who have been attacked in Australia are basically upper castes whose mindests are castists.They alongwith their upper caste people committ atrocities on Dalits.Now they have been attacked so they call it Racist.How hypocratic we are?

As you have mentioned Harbhajan would know of the spectators from wankede staium being arrested because of the monkey gestures, this of course makes the comment intentional.

But the spectators did not call
symonds a monkey because of his aboriginal origins, he does look like one with the hair and the lip cream

[...] And, in a cricket battle between India and Australia, one player called another a “monkey” and there’s a huge controversy now about whether or not that constitutes racism. [...]

Very well written post! I guess we didn’t presuppose that Bhajji said the word ‘monkey’ and are just discussing the what if he had said scenario.

In which case I agree that Symonds and the Aussies in general should stop this cry-baby phenomenon and get to work at which they are the best. When they actually play so well I don’t know why they resort to these kindergarten-level tactics. Very disappointing as a cricket fan!
