After cricket expert and commentator Harsha Bhogle penned an emotional Facebook post underlying what the current dispensation should be doing for the youth in the country, reactions have started pouring in at the social media. In one of the reactions, a twitter user whose verified id goes by ‘Dennis Boxing Day’ posted, “I can only applaud Harsha for this. His India is broken. No other country’s leader or ruling party in the world is consistently being compared to Nazis. On this issue, we all need to be Harsha. Except for Gautam Gambhir. He has chosen to be a figurehead for the party of division.”
The cricket commentator was quick to respond as he said, “No Dennis, my India isn't broken. It is full of vibrant young people doing amazing things too. We are a fully functional, mature democracy. We might voice our dissent, our disappointment at times but we are fiercely Indian. That word you used in comparison.....never (sic).”
One of the extracts from Harsha’s Facebook post says, “Winning elections isn't a good enough reason for highlighting differences between us. My naive view of the world tells me that creating opportunities through liberalisation and openness and togetherness could win more elections..”
He added, “Let us not burden the next generation with talk of war and cultural differences. They are going to be better than we were. Let them be. In a happy, open, secular, liberal world, they can become the best in the world.”
