Hardik and sex

Jan 19, 2019 Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon

There are three countries that irritate me. I mean they are not as unstable as the United States. Not as undemocratic as China and Russia. Two of them I have absolutely no interest in seeing even for five minutes. They are Australia and Norway.
Australians are mostly uncouth people, without manners. They are mostly philistines. Perhaps it has to do with how they were populated. They have been riding on a global wave because their country is wealthy and as part of the white world, Europe and the US favour them over the non-white countries. I would rank Australian cricketers as more outrageously ill-mannered than any major US basketball team.
It had to be one of the most sickening caricatures in the past few hundred years when an uncouth nation like Australia poured scorn on West Indian superstar, Chris Gayle, for inviting a female sports journalist out for a date while she was interviewing him. Gayle is sexist no doubt. His remarks about women are outrageous and should be condemned, but not by Australians.
Gayle once told a female West Indian sports reporter that he doesn’t know how the pitch feels when that question was asked of him, because he hadn’t felt the reporter’s pitch as yet. How can a global icon say such a thing when untold millions admire his sporting talent? But what Gayle asked the Australian reporter has absolutely no obnoxious implications by comparison to what Australian cricketers say on the field.
During a test match in the West Indies, Glenn McGrath told Ramnaresh Sarwan that he gives oral sex to Brian Lara. Where was the voice of hypocritical Australia? But the condemnation of Gayle echoed throughout Australia. Gayle was then denied selection by all the Big Bash teams. This was the reaction of a country that violates international law on the treatment of refugees. Sometimes fate works in mysterious ways. Australia lies far away geographically from the melting pot of Asian, European, African countries and the countries of the Americas.
Imagine a man went to a summer camp in Norway and shot dead 69 very young people and two hours before had murdered 8 persons in a bomb blast. Over 300 were injured in the two incidents. Some of the survivors of the summer camp massacre contested elections and lost to other candidates whose platform was right-wing, anti-Muslim and anti-immigration.
The right-wing terrorist was sentenced to 21 years in jail and later applied to university and was accepted, and does his studies from his jail cell. Surely, such a country has to be an obnoxious land. A Muslim in Norway is far more despised than the man who committed the massacre.
Now to Hardik and his sex life in India, the third of the irritating countries.
Hardik Pandya is an emerging all-rounder in the Indian cricket team. He plays at both the test level and in ODIs. On a talk show, Hardik opened up about how he likes to sex women. India is livid with Hardik. He was sent home from Australia, where the Indian team is currently touring, to face disciplinary charges and will no doubt be sanctioned.
In this day and age, you cannot speak of women so flippantly as Hardik did. The remarks of Gayle and Hardik about women ought to be condemned, though Hardik’s words were less sexually spiced up as Gayle’s pitch remark. But look which country is raging mad about Hardik’s sexual semantics and boasts? India. This is hypocritical.
What India practices and the negative values of life that India accepts and embraces, are grave sins compared to the bravado about sex that came from Hardik’s mouth. India’s Bollywood has the largest film industry in the world. In its history, Bollywood has not produced a leading male or female star that is brown-skinned.
All the leading actors over the past 100 years in Hindi films have a fair complexion or lily-white skin. And the country accepts this. No brown-skinned boy or girl would ever dream of going to Bollywood. All of India knows that in the movies, you have to possess white skin to have the lead role.
I once read that there isn’t even a brown-skinned flight attendant in India much less a dark-skinned one. That information could be wrong, but I once read that. If any country is obsessed with the white colour of film stars’ skin, it is India. Then there is the caste system. In India, the caste system is not official, but it is very much part of the biology, physiology and soul of India.
Hardik says he loves sex. Nothing wrong with that. But he said it in sexist ways. He should not have done that.
