Can we keep this victory in context? It's just a game. Why is it everytime we beat Pakistan or another country, people on this board insult each other? Every issue has to be made into a Ganguly-Dravid issue, a North-South comparison, a Hindu-Muslim confrontation...I'm sick of this attitude. This is what holds us Indians back...our propensity to become emotional about the pettiest of issues.
We won a tournament. Great!
But that's it! We haven't figured out how to solve Kashmir. We haven't figured out how to feed, clothe and shelter millions of people. We haven't figured out how to clean up our politics.
Isn't it ironic that most of the very people who are cheering Dhoni and his team today are going to curse him and probably even threaten their families when push comes to shove and the Indian team makes the occasional slips?
What does that tell of us people? If the Indian cricket team isn't consistent, isn't that just as telling as the fact that Indian are not consistent.
Cricket champions play cricket religiously, but neither do they make it a religion nor do they need fanatic fans.
