Just Like That | Faith and Cricket: Kirti Azad’s comment uncalled for

Public discourse in India often reveals how fragile the understanding of foundational concepts can be. A recent controversy surrounding remarks made by Kirti Azad, a Member of Parliament from the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), offers a telling example. India national cricket team visited a Hanuman temple after their triumphant victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final on March 8.

His comment suggested that such a visit was somehow inconsistent with the secular ethos that India claims to uphold. Kirti Azad’s comment was impulsive, ill-thought-out, shallow and condemnatory in a manner that displayed an unfortunate lack of understanding of the meaning of secularism in India. In doing so, he trivialised secularism itself by applying it in circumstances where it is not threatened. To my mind, the reaction of the victorious players was entirely human. Sport, particularly cricket in India, is not …
