There was a time when cricket was about pride, passion, and pure sport. Today, it’s about screens, sponsors, and shameless compromises. While families of martyrs still wipe their tears, while terror handlers still roam free in pakistan, and while provocations against india never cease, our cricket board and government find it perfectly fine to turn india vs pakistan into a “festival.” From boycott slogans one week to cinema-hall screenings the next, this is not cricket — it’s a betrayal dressed up as entertainment.
1. From Blood to Box Office: The Insult to Martyrs
Every time india agrees to play pakistan, we spit on the sacrifices of our soldiers. The country mourns lives lost to Pakistani bullets and bombs — but the bcci celebrates by selling tickets.
2. Boycott to blockbuster in Just 14 Days
Two weeks ago, “boycott Pakistan” was trending. Today, PVR INOX is selling popcorn combos for the same clash. Our outrage has the shelf life of a meme.
3. The business of Betrayal
Make no mistake — this isn’t about sport. It’s about cash. Broadcasters, sponsors, and corporates salivate at the India–Pakistan clash. And the nation’s honor is auctioned for a few billion ad impressions.
4. When europe Asks, We Have No Answers
Foreigners ask the obvious: “If pakistan kills Indians, why do you play cricket with them?” We go silent. Because the truth is, the government and the board have no spine.
5. t20 Is Not War, Stop Selling It as National Pride
Cricket is unpredictable, especially T20s. Anyone can win. Why risk the dignity of a nation on a coin toss and a bad day at the crease?
6. Provocation Ignored, Dignity Forgotten
From on-field antics to political jibes, Pakistani players have mocked india time and again. Yet here we are, desperate for the next “thriller” as if our self-respect is available on discount.
7. The Great indian Hypocrisy
We boycott films, we boycott actors, we boycott brands for far less. But when it comes to pakistan cricket, we bend, we cheer, we clap — proving we are the most forgetful and shameless fans in the world.
👉 This is not just about cricket. This is about selling national honor for entertainment value. The real scoreboard isn’t on the pitch — it’s in how low we are willing to sink just to watch a six.
