The four-page dossier to the Indian team has generated a lot of unwanted attention. But apart from the headline-grabbing sex talk, the part where they use war terminology to make ‘us’ understand our limitations as a sporting nation is as amusing as it should be shocking, writes Pradeep Magazine in the Hindustan Times.
In any case, is being the aggressor and going to war such a good thing that youngsters should feel proud of it? Should they feel embarrassed that their forefathers never attacked any nation? In fact, if anything we feel proud of the fact that India never had any imperial designs and did not loot and plunder other nations? Kirsten and Upton are here to coach and train a cricket team — something they are qualified to do. They should refrain from giving us lessons on our history, culture, religion and race.
