Sony dropped an Asia Cup ad. It featured joy, cricket, and—brace yourselves—a Muslim man celebrating India’s victory. Within seconds, the Sanghi outrage factory was in overdrive. Let’s break it down:
1. The Trigger: A Muslim Celebrating India’s Win 😱
Apparently, for the bhakts, patriotism has a religion. The sight of a Muslim being happy about India’s success is enough to cause a nationwide whatsapp meltdown.
2. Selective Amnesia, Sponsored by Sangh 📲
Fun fact: The ad also features bjp supporter Virender Sehwag. But that’s fine—because bhakts have mastered the art of ignoring inconvenient details.
3. cricket Is for All, Except in Sanghi Land 🏏🚫
For the rest of us, cricket is about uniting people across language, caste, and religion. For the saffron brigade, it’s another excuse to divide, abuse, and trend hashtags.
4. Manufactured Outrage = Free PR 🎥
Every time bhakts rage online, the brand they target gets free publicity. So thank you, Sanghis—you just gave Sony’s ad double the reach at zero marketing cost.
5. The Real Irony 🤔
The same crowd that screams “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” can’t handle seeing a Muslim in an india jersey celebrating a win. Hypocrisy, thy name is bhakt outrage.
👉 Bottom Line:
It’s just an ad. It’s just cricket. But in New India™, even joy has to pass a religious test.
