Racist, Anti-Hindu Comments Made by Top Cricket Player on Pakistani National Television
Sohail Tanvir voices racist anti hindu remarks
Editor’s Note: This story has not been covered by any major media around the world and in the first few weeks of the incident only 2 small online media publications wrote about this. It should also be noted that no media or organization within India and Pakistan condemned this Racist and anti-Hindu comment yet Indian media is still publishing articles weekly about what a politician said that may have been communal from 1980. It is a shame Indian media does not speak out for specific religious groups and consistently bullies certain religions by not exposing such events.
Pakistan (CHAKRA) – Three Pakistanis voiced hatred towards Hindus publically on national television, on a TV show (In a Morning with Farrah) hosted by Farrah—Pakistan’s highest paid anchor. The three culprits include, guest, Sohail Tanvir, journalist Zahid Farooq Malik as well as Farrah herself.
While describing the IPL snub, Tanvir stated, “Hinduon ki zahaniyat hi aisi hai,” meaning, the Hindu’s are of such nature, while explaining why he was not selected for the team. Farrah responded by saying that Hindus are ready to plunge a knife behind your back though they will keep saying Ram Ram.
Journalist Malik, then added that Hindus, not Indians, were responsible for Pakistan not being able to host matches in the 2011 World Cup.

This is not the first time such racist remarks have been made on television. On several occasions, Pakistanis have expressed their beliefs on TV, claiming that Ajmal Kasab’s real name is Arun (A Hindu originated name), he lived in the slums of Dharavi, Maharashtra, and was trained by RAW—Research and Analysis Wing—to carry out the Mumbai attacks.
Pakistani television has not only expressed its hateful thoughts on India and Hinduism but has expressed hatred towards other countries.
A popular talk show host, Aamir Liaquat, said on the hugely watched Geo TV that the Pakistan cricket team was white-washed in Australia because of the green coloured soles on players’ shoes.
Hussain explained further by saying, “Green is the colour of Pakistan and this colour being rubbed on the ground is a derogatory act. Hence, divine retribution had affected the fortunes of the Pakistani cricket team.”
Acts of such nature have proven to show up time and time again yet, they are hardly known of by the world’s population.
