A Public Interest Litigation(PIL) in this regard was mentioned before a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan which declined to hear it immediately and posted the case for January 28.
Prince Lenin, a Lucknow-based advocate who filed the PIL, submitted that the BCCI should discontinue the ongoing Indian cricket team's tour to Australia, as they have failed to defend and protect the ‘dignity, prestige and respect of the country’.
The petitioner also contended that non-sporting persons should be debarred from holding posts in Sports Organisation like the BCCI.
Referring to the racial controversy involving the Indian off-spinner and Aussie all-rounder Andrew Symonds, the PIL alleged that BCCI had failed to take immediate steps to prevent Indian players from being humiliated.
I haven't heard in recent time anyone calling someone 'bastard' in a cricket because according to the caller's opinion the person is born from the person's mother whose father is unknown; and got away with it? What are you suggesting. I am talking about someone calling somebody based on his opinion can not be supported in an organized manner. Any crime in the entire world is given much attention until it is organised. Try to understand the difference between one or two or few making racial slurs, and a whole nation doing it (or supporting it) in an organized manner. If someone kill somebody, the wole world doesn't call the country of his birth as killers, it is when one country go to war in an organised manner, or terrorize in an organized manner, that is when that country or a group of people are called war mongerer or terrorists, although there are many other intellectual part in it which is beyond the capacity of the brains of those who do not understand a difference between crime and organized crime. If you are right, 'hhh' then agree to it that Indian SC is rubbish. I will not say that.Because our founding fathers put a lot of intellectualism and experience to write our constitution which cares for human rights a nd dignity. So our Indian teams effort should be acknoledged as a fantastic task to overcome pressure from nationalistic crap.
That is a fantastic arguement! A person can call another person as 'monkey' because that is what he thinks the other person look like; and yet that will not be abuse of human dignity. But it becomes an abuse to Indian dignity if team India do not call its team back in protest against punishment for human dignity! Which one is more important to Indians, human dignity or Indian dignity? I strongly support Indian Cricket Team's decision of not pulling back, and acknoledging (although metaphorically) that calling someone 'monkey' based on the caller's definition of looks is deregetory and offensive to every human being, regardless of nationality, race, caste, gender or any such separative views. I think India as a proud protector of human rights, not Indian's right. Hope this make some difference in the way some of our views are misdirected based on nationalism and/or patriotism. Nationalism/patriotism must not be greater than humanism. A country like India respects that, and Indian Team officials decision to not pull out must be regarded. The SC's decision to not consider the PIL as urgent, is a matter of pride of India's justice system. This is the reason we will still find avenues to abolish every kind of racism from humanity, which is always a menace in Indian society, where it is termed 'castism.'
