we already have the 100s of bhangra poppers and their evil music. we have all the bump and grind songs in bollywood films. we had the sadson ka saag and makkhi ki roti and the tractor scenes in the khet. meanwhile we had the pooja bedis and the kamal sidhus and the karishma kapoors. we have had bhangra dances and bc's and mc's in all aspects of life in india (take tv advertisements for example). and now they have invaded the realms of cricket as well. mandira bedi shows of her cleavage and tries to look as slutty as they come (all the while betraying her total lack of understanding of the game). amarnath bursts into rediculous bhangra songs while giving his expert opinions about cricket. and the one and only navjot singh sidhu rapes the english language while talking in "proverbs" that only he can figure out. and bishen bedi talks like a ruffian - cos he was born one. where and when will it stop?? and what could be the reason for such such all round slapstickicity in almost everything that comes from the land of the turban??? do fellow IGT-ers enjoy this sort of crap??
Let me get this out of the way: Racist! /lavina I have never seen Amarnath doing the bhangra. Thank god for that. Sidhu just talks nonsense so that he can get more time on tv. Mandira, hmmm...she's cute but should just shut up. I demand sardar jokes!!
jimmy amarnath doing the bhangra was terrible. it was more terrible when greg chappell did the bhangra. siddhu irritates me but sometimes makes sense while talking.
Let me take this opportunity to make myself heard that siddu is worse than a buffoon in that laughter challenge. Ugh! I like punjabi style though music/dialogues/etc .. if its not overdone ..
sonali chander speaks english in the accent of a punjabi truck driver. the sooner supreme court passes a law banning her from english news channel the better for the furure of the nation -or else in a few years half the indians will start pronouncing in the horrible, thick and rough way she does. she sucks ass big time.
Forgive the ignorance, who is she?? The Biharis, Jats, UPites, Southies, Marathis and tons other speak bad English as well.
she is the NDTV sports section news reader. and yes almost every linguistic community has lots of people who speak in an accent laced heavily with the vernacular - but very few are on national tv or programs. you wont ever see a bihari accented guy on the cricket show with mandira bedi. but you will have to tolerate a sidhu. you wont find a news reader with a bengali accent on an english channel - but you will have to tolerate a sonali trucker. you wont find a south indian pop singer singing on mtv shown to all indians - you may find them in local channels. but you will find 1000s of bhangra poppers. thats what i mean - how come all the crap that the land of the turban dishes out - be it their slapstickicity, or their bump and grind songs or their bhangra songs or siddhuisms or thick accent - is to be found on national television and has to be tolerated by all and sundry??
