While there has been unrest in some of the cities in India due to the crackdown in Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University as a result of the ongoing protest on Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), many people have asked the Bollywood celebrities and cricketers to come out and raise their voice for what’s happening in the country. While Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan came out on social media platform Twitter to express his opinion, the majority of cricketers have remained silent on the issue.
Sana Ganguly, daughter of former Indian skipper and current BCCI president – Sourav Ganguly – recently took to social media platform Instagram to post an excerpt from Khushwant Singh’s ‘The End of India’ while voicing her opinion. There was a major backlash on social media platforms as many asked Sourav to clarify Sana’s statement.
“Please keep Sana out of all this issues .. this post is not true .. she is too young a girl to know about anything in politics,” Ganguly tweeted.
Earlier, Sana had posted an excerpt from a book named ‘The End of India’ published in 2003 as a Twitter user shared a screenshot from her story.
“Those of us today who feel secure because we are not Muslims or Christians are living in a fool’s paradise. The Sangh is already targeting the Leftist historians and “Westernized” youth. Tomorrow it will turn its hate on women who wear skirts, people who eat meat, drink liquor, watch foreign films, don’t go on annual pilgrimages to temples, use toothpaste instead of danth manjan, prefer allopathic doctors to vaids, kiss or shake hands in greeting instead of shouting ‘Jai Shri Ram’. No one is safe. We must realize this if we hope to keep India alive,” Sana’s Instagram story read.
