What is this controversy about the Racist comments by Harbajan Singh ? He called someone a "monkey"....I cannot understand how this is a Racist comment....all of us have, anyway, come from Monkeys.....
But we should accept the fact that differentiation based on colour, language, religion, wealth, features etc., is going to be there, whether one likes it or not, till the world exists. Are we not talking about "aravadu" and "golti"?, are we not differentiating the "north" Indian from the "south" Indian?. Many people have told me that I looked like a north Indian (that is, I am not dark skinned !!!)...I have faced racial discrimination when I was looking for an apartment in Detroit...."no apartment for rent" was a standard answer if the apartment owner was a "white". I was questioned for selling my flat to a muslim - how could I do that ? I was asked a question when I was in class 3 - how could I go to a class taught by a Parian ? All these because we belong to the Animal Kingdom...one of the characteristics of the Animal Kingdom is "dominance"...we try to dominate or try to show our dominance in our actions and thoughts. Racism, therefore, is natural...why do we make such a fuss...even jeopardizing the cricket tour of Australia (Advice to Harbajan: You should have called him "Kangaroo" instead of "Monkey"....for us a monkey is GOD....not a Kangaroo!!!)

Dear Brother,
The problem started only from India when Astralia toured In India our people have started this sort of scolding players. Now it is Australia's turn. So we should not give importance to this type of bickerings.When Symond was scolded by our people we have not taken any action but we enjoyed.
Dear Peripa,
How do u know Symonds was scolded? Becoz he said so? Can u take the words of liars?In general people of the "W" variety are racists to the core. They are hypocrites and snobbish...I see it all the time...they think they are superior in every way! And I dont think I believe the semi "W" Sym,onds when he says he was called monkey...Harbhajan may have never uttered it!
Dear Indhu,
Our spectators have commented Symond as Monkey by seeing his face. At that time he was near the boundry line. He came to the umpire and said that. umpire just rushed to the boundry line and inform the line umpire about that.After that only our people stopped calling symonds Monkey.
Though Australians are racist there is no point in abusing their players in our home.
With best wishes,
Chandra.
