The Politics of Sports in India

• The India-Pakistan Asia Cup match has been criticized for being a stage for conflict.

• Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray and AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi argued that commercial gain was valued over the lives lost in Pahalgam.

• The Supreme Court has also been asked to cancel the game.

• India captain Suryakumar Yadav chose not to shake hands with Pakistan, citing it as an “alignment” with government policy.

• The BCCI, which operates outside sports governance law, is also criticized for operating outside the purview of sports governance law.

• Cricket has historically been used to negotiate power with imperial rulers and to invest encounters with Partition.

• The transformation of cricket into a theatre of conflict is eroding this tradition.

• Sportspersons’ gestures dramatise fellowship, not soldiers.

• The ICC places India and Pakistan teams in the same group in multilateral tournaments, creating repetitive match-ups.

• The point of sport is not to be war minus the shooting, but to inflame passions to polarize people.
