'Shahid Afridi Told Me To Convert, My Career Was Destroyed': Pakistani Hindu Cricketer Danish Kaneria at US Congressional hearing on Minorities

[AuxiliA]

“I was doing well in my career and was playing county cricket too. Inzamam-ul-Haq supported me a lot and was the only captain who did so. Alongside him, Shoaib Akhtar. Shahid Afridi and many other Pakistan players troubled me a lot and didn’t eat with me. Shahid Afridi was the main person telling me to convert, and he did a lot of times. Inzamam-ul-Haq never used to talk that way."

Shahid Afridi is such a peice of sh*t, even by jihadi Pak standards. That lying bast*rd goes around acting like he has a bada dil. 

 

Shoaib Akhtar had also talked about this a few years ago on his SM account. Respect to him and also Inzi for atleast standing up for their teammate Kaneria. 

 

Imagine the outrage in India (& rightfully so) if Hindu cricketers refused to eat with Muslim teammate and forced him for conversion.

That's why Youhana had to convert. He and his wife used to get insulted/bullied all the time, and other players and their wives wouldn't dine with them. I remember reading an article where Waqar and Wasim's wives would humiliate Mrs Youhana all the time. 

 

Rich of Muslims to talk about caste system while they treat kafirs so badly. Pretty sure none of the Indian players have ever had problems dining with staff/players from different caste/religion. 

 

Kaneria should leave Pakistan, his life isn't safe there. Anyway, there are daily killings and abductions of Hindus in Sindh, their government, army, police are active enablers. 

[Gollum]

Bade dil, aman, tehzeeb my ass. Literally Nazis of 21st century, without a fraction of their intelligence and ability. 

[Gollum]

All their past fixers were forgiven, welcomed back into national fold, including national cricket team, PSL, commentary gigs.

 

Kaneria who spot fixed in some county game is treated as a pariah. Had he converted, he would have been welcomed with open arms. 

 

Here we have Azharuddin becoming MP, HCA President, state Congress president, after masterminding match fixing in India games. We even had a Bollywood movie to paint him as victim. 

[cowboysfan]

many of our cricketers are bhai bhai with Afridi,that guy is an Asshole of the worst kind.

Lol some of their cricketer/media guy were gloating  that few days back during psl ,Rizwan has converted 5 foreigner and given Quran to them, that’s more worth than winning any trophy. I still remember how these guys tried to convert Haydenullah, but sly dog haydenullah made fool out if them… Gupta ji ka aujaar check karna hoga asap as he returned back to India now.

Hayden invited them to his home in Brisbane and they tried to convert his young daughter.

Who can forget a PSL owner (or director, some big position) posting on twitter that Sammy had converted to Islam, later Sammy had to clarify that he was still Christian. Anyone who shows up in PSL is gifted Quran, given sermons and pushed to convert. 

 

Overseas Pakistanis also do this, like how Khawaja pushed his white girlfriend to convert.

 

Dagestanis are the most stringent followers of Islam, very conservative, but even they know to respect boundaries when interacting with foreigners. Only SC Muslims whose entire lives revolve around converting other people.

They are actually far worse than Nazis if you seriously compare them. 

 

Atleast the Nazis straight away killed people off and didn't torture them much. But these extremists will torture you both mentally and physically, demean your culture and religion in the most cruel way possible. Not to mention the things they do to kaffir women and even little girls. 

 

Imagine the plight of families who had their little underage daughters forcefully taken away, raped, converted and married off to some 50yo. 

 

Absolute lowest of scums on Earth by far.

Akhtar may be liberal by Pak standards (even though he is a big believer of Ghazwa-e-Hind and conquest of India).

 

But Inzi, nah. Tried to convert Bhajji, Lara, Vettori. All their celebs are like that, even their female actors. Fatima Bhutto, a Pakistani author very famous in Indian libbu circles, has also converted few of her white friends in USA, boasted about that on twitter once.

Ahmed Shahzad is popular in India these days because of his YT channel

Azerbaijanis too are class, but they are very cruel towards Armenians.

LMAO, I remember how Sammy accused India of racism with being called "Kaalu" and was so happy in receiving Nishan E Pakistan.

 

PSL owner gave him a reality check

Pakistanis have been brainwashed by their establishment to become Jihadis, quite literally. I don't blame their gullible civilians. 

 

It is expected out of them to propagate their religion at all occasions and support their army no matter what it does. 

 

But to 'racially' single out a lone vulnerable fellow teammate and mentally torture him to convert is just low life behaviour. That makes PoS like Afridi & co far worse than Akhtar & Inzi.

That was indeed pathetic on our part, Ishant Sharma was the main culprit. Indians are incredibly racist to people with dark skin.

 

WI team in 70s and 80s used to face a lot of harassment from our crowds, probably a big reason why many of their greats like Holding, Roberts, Marshall hate/hated India. 

 

Williams sisters played a tournament in Bengaluru in late 2000s IIRC, they did a fashion show as well representing WTA, posed in sarees. I remember the kind of rude comments they received on pages like rediff for that. Even in the tournament their opponents were supported in all games. 

[Lone Wolf]

I think Kaneria's story is nothing new.  He has told multiple times how he was treated inside Pak team.  As a kid I thought he was Muslim like the rest of them

Condition of minorities in Pakistan is well documented and it reflects onto their society and cricket team which comes from similar low class or middle class background.

 

Only Shan Masood from recent times came from a well to do family.

 

Players from KPK are more religious than Pakjabis and Karachi Urdu speaking folks hate Hindus and India more.

It's a shame we continue to have cricket matches against this piece of sheet country due to greed for more money. Stop all cricket against them, let their cricket starve and die.
