In the very first edition of the Indian Premier league (IPL), there has been string of pathetic displays of bad behaviour from the likes of players and team officials, from downright physical assaults, verbal abuses and dirt cheap treatment of the lesser known fringe players of the IPL by their team owners.

What has been even more shocking is the report on some black cheerleaders been asked not to perform quite simply because the Indian people don’t “like to see dark people”.

Dancers Ellesha Newton and Sherinne Anderson were stopped by the pre-match show organisers “Wizcraft International Entertainment” by apparent instructions by the boss before the opening match of the Kings X1 at Mohali.

Not so long ago, the net was flooded with overzealous Indians who cannot digest or understand the fact about Indians being racists. The statements you often hear is that Indians cannot be racists has to be a joke considering we have the crudest examples of the same in the caste system followed till date and the very obnoxious institute of marriage in India, which is nothing more than piled up cart loads of crude racial dung fest!

At the end of the day, one has to reflect on who these bosses are… highly educated, affluent, savvy public figures, yet so naïve and downright cheap! But then what else can you expect from bollywood film stars actors, whose industry is marred by only the fair and affluent.

The mix between Bollywood entertainment and Cricket may be a good idea on the positives to get the housewives and some of non-cricket loving groups interested. After all much of prime time in the evening gets taken over by this segment in endless soap serials and filmy gossip. However what the administrators failed to see is that it would also bring out the muddy slush of the bollywood entertainment industry. After all, the Indian affection of anything white is well documented in society and is almost a norm in the film industry. How many dark skinned leading actresses are there in this industry?

The two cheerleaders reported that they were upset and cried and they could have understood it if at least the crowd was not receptive to them. The crowd was receptive to them but the highly educated, affluent public star bosses had other ideas in implementing their age old formula for bollywood success.

On the cricketing crowd as such, one would have expected some serious ‘backlashes’ as some call, on the Australians, from the controversial Indian tour of Australia. On the contrary, they were warmly received and very well taken care. This crowd is typically what the affluent snooty snobs in India call the ‘front benchers’, with also the obvious mix of the educated and the not-so-educated.

At the end of the day, it took a big public figure filled with snooty bigotry to bring the house down. So where are all those millions and billions of Indians here and across the world. After all when Shilpa Shetty from the same bollywood industry was racially abused by from unknown small time actor in the UK, the whole community across the world rallied for her.

So where are those rallies for these Uk girls? Where those taxi drivers with their stickers to support? Where are those websites harping on voting for Shilpa to kill racism?

Oh I forgot… Ellesha Newton and Sherinne Anderson are from the entertainment industry and are black. Indians don’t like seeing black people! I get it!

Here’s Hally Berry for you… she is black, a good actor, acts in films better than any bollywood crapreel and most importantly well respected!
