More to the point, I am puzzled by the attitude that most Indians have regarding the problem of racism. Action is important, but what we do is complain. We simply weep and whine, saying Aussies do this or that, they're racist, they're mean, they indulge in sledging, and so on. By complaining like this, we look like a bunch of pathetic losers to the world. Second, life is not a bed of roses, it's a battlefield. People are going to be downright rude, even violent sometimes. It's up to us to face these things, and fight like men, rather than sit in the corner and complain.
Look at BCCI, they have the power, they have the money to manipulate things. And yet, they're crying like babies instead of confronting the problem directly. If you have power, you must use it, bully (bad) people with it, manipulate them, and get things done. That's life. There's no point in giving lectures that racism is wrong, we must be tolerant, bla bla. You think any racist is going to listen to our words of wisdom? People respect muscle, they don't give a damn about principles, right and wrong, good and evil.
If Indians feel certain people are racist, they must learn to hit them where it hurts. Only such aggressive attitude can end this problem. If there's racism, don't try to convince people that racism is bad. Of course, it's bad, and everyone knows it. The racists know it, and despite this knowledge, they indulge in it. So what's the point in trying to persuade people that Aussies are racist, or that racism is bad, when this truth is pretty self-evident and needs no convincing?
Therefore, it's impractical for us to waste time trying to convince ourselves or others of the evils of racism. Everyone knows this already. So our time is better spent in confronting these people like men, like soldiers. This approach is lacking in most Indians, thanks to our idealistic view of a perfect society, and all the rest.
Put simply, rather than say foolish things like, "There should be no racism, racism is evil," and other such old, hackneyed phrases, our attitude should be: Let there be racism, let the Aussies be racist, let the world be racist. We'll be racists too, and give them a taste of their own medicine.
This aggressive attitude will make people respect us. Moreover, it's the only practical solution, because racism is here to stay and cannot be wished away. So fight racism with racism. But what do we do? We not only complain like kids, but pick on an insignificant Symonds, when the real culprits like Ponting are treated like guests of honor. How silly! Let's be racist toward racists, that's the only way to fight this problem. Awakening people to the dangers of racism is a redundant process, because people are already awake to the dangers. And despite this, they either indulge in, or tolerate, racism. So the only solution is to fight fire with fire, which the Indians NEVER seem to learn. EVER!
