A sikh player will be playing for Pakistan in U-19 cricket team

[Samurai_assassin]

Normal indians are actually quite happy when we see non-muslims finally getting some representation in pakistan be it hindus , sikhs or christians , finally they are being recognized by the pakistani government after being condemned for years.
It would be good for the sub-continent if pakistan in the future goes into becoming a secular country than being an islamic republic. I am sure indian media will say what indians want to hear so they will say something nice only , i think also danish kaneria was a hindu who was a part of the pakistani team and also mohammed yosuf was a christian but sadly had to later get converted to islam . Anyways this is a good news but pakistan has a long way to go when it comes to equal treatment for minorities.

Muhammad Yusuf reverted to Islam of his own will not by force!

[Kaniska]

Indian media ko saanp soongh jaega.


Dekhiye ye Pakistan kis tarhan Sikh aatangwaadiyo ka saath dene main aagey nikal gaya ke apni rashti cricket team main hi Khalistan ke khiladi shaamil kar liye. Kya Modi Pakistan ki un-pavittar chaalo ka karara jawab de paega? Dekhiye aaj raate 12 baj ke 80 minute pe.

Trust me, Indian might have insecurities with Muslims of India but not with even any Non Muslims that includes Sikhs...Because at the end of the day Sikhs are empowered in India will be the land where they are respected and respected irrespective of our bothered history in 1984,

Keep it aside those Sikhs who are Canada or to some extent in US with the separatist mindset, Sikhs in India are even more integrated to Indian mainstream than an any other ones....No one questions their patriotism and loyalisty to the land....

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Not the first time a non muslim is playing for Pak, "saanp kyon sungega?" Indian media ko?

Dinesh Kaneria,M Yousaf.

finally they are being recognized by the pakistani government after being condemned for years.

Minorities haven't really been condemned here. Sikhs especially...

It would be good for the sub-continent if pakistan in the future goes into becoming a secular country than being an islamic republic.

Unfortunately we are an Islamic Republic only on paper. I hope we become more Islamic; because under Islamic law - it guarantees the full rights of minorities - it even goes a bit further and gives them full autonomy, able to decide their own laws and ect...

I am sure indian media will say what indians want to hear so they will say something nice only

Indian Media is overtly negative when it comes to Pakistan.

also mohammed yosuf was a christian but sadly had to later get converted to islam

How is that 'sad'...? He converted out of his own will; let me quote this:

He converted to Islam after attending regular preaching sessions of the Tablighi Jamaat, Pakistan's largest non-political religious grouping, whose preachers include Yousuf's former team-mate Saeed Anwar and his brother. His wife Tania converted along with him and adopted the Islamic name Fatima. However, the news was kept private for three months due to family reasons, before his announcement of their conversion publicly in September 2005.[9][10] "I don't want to give Yousuf my name after what he has done", his mother was quoted as saying by the Daily Times newspaper. "We came to know about his decision when he offered Friday prayers at a local mosque. It was a shock", his mother was reported as saying. However, Yousuf told the BBC that "I cannot tell you what a great feeling it is."[11] As part of his conversion, Yousuf officially changed his name from Yousuf Youhana to Mohammad Yousuf.

Former Pakistan cricketer and sports commentator Rameez Raja, who himself is Muslim, acknowledged the significance of Yousuf's new faith: "Religion has played an integral part in his growth not just as a cricketer but as a person."[12]

Anyways this is a good news but pakistan has a long way to go when it comes to equal treatment for minorities.

So does India; India has a much longer way - compared to Pakistan.

Finally a sardar jee in U19 team.

One Sikh??? Good news.

We will always be an Islamic Republic. We don't act like one even though we should, but we will never change the name so forget about it.

Interesting! When you pretend to be someone you're not that is when you're faced with identity crisis. JMHO!

Indian might have insecurities with Muslims of India but not with even any Non Muslims

Sorry!
Indians are not insecure because of any community. BTW Indian Muslims are as Indian as any other non Muslims.
Your statement needs correction.

One Sikh??? Good news.

We will try to match indian standards where they have 8 Sikhs, 1 Christian, 1 Muslim and 1 Hindu in a cricket team. Meanwhile we are sorry till that time you will get to see 1 Sikh only and that too for the time being in under 19.

Lolz
Seriously?
ICYMI- our ex PM was a Sikh and many of our previous head of the state were non-Hindus. Our hockey team captain is a Sikh, our football star Baichung Bhutia is a Christian.One of our best bowler,Zaheer Khan is a Muslim. These are just few names out of the many who are playing. We are very proud of them.
Such news doesn't really make headlines in my country. We are used to it.
I wish the same for your country.

You do not understand my statement....It is not like our Indian Muslims are less patriotic than others, but fact on the ground is also exist, that insecurity exists by majority section of community...But just because majority feels insecure does not make any one less Indian than the others....

One sikh in team becomes news in islamic republic in India Azharuddin made news for all the wrong reasons but not for being muslim.

Muhammad Yusuf reverted to Islam of his own will not by force!

Pakistan team had become highly religious and anyone who wanted to be captain should be on the right side of fence.

A few weeks later when the Pakistan team had lost most of its games and was eventually eliminated from the tournament, Khan jokingly asked Anwar what had happened to the angels that he said would descend and help Pakistan win.

Without smiling back, Anwar sombrely replied that the angels hadn’t appeared because they (the players) were not good Muslims (!)
