It is a piece written out of vengeance. Very poorly written. Monkey is indeed a racial slur in the western world (and not in India , whatever may Prem's wife say to him!)and Harbhajan clearly was quite wrong to utter that word for the second time (he said it in India to Symonds and got away with that). However the ban was little too early. The hearing should have been after the test series. And what about Tendulkar's reprieve (lbw shout)when he was 20? Australia got at least 10 poor decisions during 2005 Ashes which they lost and we didnt see their public bring out donkeys on the streets in the name of the umpires.Stop proclaiming ourselves patriots and engaging in idiotic hypocrisy. The fact is although Dravid and Ganguly were not out, other nine batsmen could not survive 70 overs and three of them fell to a part-time bowler in the penultimate over.FOCUS ON CRICKET, FOLKS...DON'T TRY TO BE CONVENIENT GANDHI-FOLLOWERS.
