KAMBLI: Experiments with Caste, Willow and Gloves<http://blog.insightyv.com/?p=292> *Recently newspapers reported<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4774108.cms> that Vinod Kambli, the Indian cricketer during the shooting of a forthcoming television show had vehemently attacked BCCI for discriminating against him based on his caste and skin colour and criticized his childhood friend Sachin Tendulkar for being less ‘friendly’ at his bad times. Though,Kambli has denied these reports later<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4777247.cms>, RANJITH THANKAPPAN shares the ‘Kambli Moment’ in his life that point towards the caste factor in cricket and life.* Kambli, I knew it years ago. Perhaps you didn’t. Or what else kept you silent for long? I know, cricket like brahmanism is a mythical institution that will lead one to the illusion of empowered self. But, I expected you to throw it back with the same ease with which you pick up and throw to get your opponent run out. And how can I forget your beautiful smile; the mumbling after a diving effort to save a single; the naughty grin after an effortless catch; the languishing return from the crease and enigmatic flow of energy in the field with the usual encouraging words to fellow players. How can I forget you Kambli, though you were not my role model? Nor Sachin was. Never ever.
