India could have abstained from the ICC tournament because ‘terrorism-sponsor’ Pakistan was part of the tournament. It could have forfeited its matches with Pakistan as a form of protest. But it did none of these. Instead, it played Pakistan, a team from a nation that is accused of spreading terror in India and giving shelter to terrorists on its land. The Government of India has thus failed to apply adequate pressure on the BCCI in this matter.
We severed our relationship with them, yet we allowed this match to take place. Where is our patriotism and nationalism now? It goes to show that Modi / Shah can do anything and get away with it.
They can openly use a tricolour to wipe their face and yet face no backlash. They can foist a war on the country and then call it off under pressure from the US.
They can do all this because the majority of Indians are so wrapped up in Muslim hate that they will allow them to do anything. Indians are happy when Modi bans Pakistan and then they are happy when Modi allows India to play a match with Pakistan. Heads he wins, tails we lose. The problem is, even when this is happening we are feeling like winners.
