There is a big difference between Sen george calling Siddharth a monkey and you or me calling Siddharth a monkey. Similar logic applies to the N word. The racism of the white man over centuries cannot be diluted out by equating it with any behaviour of a non-white player towards another non-white player. Even if Symonds does not agree. The whole virulence and hatred that goes with a White-man's chant of the word Monkey and that of Harbhajan's is simply not comparable EVEN if he used that word.

Amar Kumar, Do you really need to show off that you read so much of American news in every posting? And if you do read news, please do it carefully. I hope you know that Senator's indiscretion was captured on a camera and is available on youtube. So do you agree that the evidence in his case was overwhelming? What Prem is saying here in the article is that there is no enough evidence to convict H Singh. Like Prem pointed out, I do believe in Sachin so I THINK H Singh is innocent, again I THINK. Obviously there is no evidence so it's only fair that H Singh is pardoned. If you are in America, I am sure you have heard the phrase 'Comparing Apples to Apples'. That's precisely the reason, you cannot compare the senator case with H Singh case. Grow up.
