Chennai: Suresh Raina's 'I am brahmin' quip draws flak
金奈:苏雷什·拉伊纳的“我是婆罗门”言论遭到炮轰
CHENNAI: Former India player Suresh Raina sparked a row after equating his upper caste identity with Chennai culture during Tamil Nadu Premier League commentary on Monday.
金奈:周一,在泰米尔纳德邦板球超级联赛的解说中,前印度球员苏雷什·拉伊纳将自己的高种姓身份等同于金奈文化,引发了一场争论。
During the TNPL opener between Lyca Kovai Kings and Salem Spartans, Raina - who dons the Chennai Super Kings jersey in the IPL since 2008 - was asked by commentators about his long relationship with the city.
在莱卡·科瓦伊国王队和塞勒姆斯巴达队之间的TNPL揭幕战中,从2008年开始就在印度超级联赛中穿着金奈超级国王队(CSK)球衣的苏雷什被评论员问及他与这座城市的长期关系。
The 34-year-old replied, "I think I am also brahmin. I have been playing since 2004 in Chennai, I love the culture. I love my teammates. I have played with Anirudha Srikanth, Badri (S Badrinath), Bala Bhai (L Balaji). We have a good administration at CSK and we have the licence to explore ourselves. I love the culture there, and I'm lucky to be part of CSK."
34岁的他回答:“我想我也是婆罗门。我从2004年开始在金奈打球,我喜欢那里的文化。我爱我的队友们。我和Anirudha Srikanth, Badri (S Badrinath), Bala Bhai (L Balaji)合作过。我们在CSK的管理很好,我们可以探索自己。我喜欢那里的文化,我很幸运能成为CSK的一员。
Users across social media platforms took little time to call Raina out. "@ImRaina you should be ashamed of yourself. It seems that you have never experienced real Chennai culture though you have been playing for many years for the Chennai team," wrote one.
社交媒体平台上的用户很快对他发起抨击。“@ImRaina你应该为自己感到羞耻。尽管你为金奈队效力多年,但你似乎从未体验过真正的金奈文化。”
CSK officials, though, tried to douse the fire and refused any comment. "We don't have anything to say at this moment," said a senior official. Before the 2020 IPL too, Raina courted controversy when he returned from Dubai citing "personal reasons". The CSK management wasn't happy but kept him in the 2021 side.
尽管CSK官员试图灭火,并拒绝发表任何评论。一位高级官员表示:“目前我们没什么可说的。”在2020年印度板球超级联赛之前,苏雷什因“个人原因”从迪拜回来而引发争议。CSK管理层很不高兴,但还是让他留在了2021年的球队。

Stupid issue. Even Stalin has his top economic advisors all Brahmins!! Prasanth Kishor another brahmin, without his strategies, Stalin would have had no chance of wng!! where are these netizens and can they ask Stalin first?
愚蠢的问题。就连斯大林的高级经济顾问都是婆罗门!!
如果没有他的策略,斯大林就没有获胜的机会!
这些网民在哪里,他们能先问问斯大林吗?

Just an innocent remark. Could have been avoided but Raina does not know anti brahmin fascism in Chennai.
只是一句没有恶意的话,但苏雷什不知道金奈的反婆罗门法西斯主义。

I am not sure why people are making a mountain out of a mole hill.? this is just a funny remark from a person from UP where such hatred towards brahmins for political gains are not practiced since there are no Dravidians there.
我不明白为什么人们要小题大做。这只是一个来自北方邦的人的有趣评论,那里不因政治利益而仇恨婆罗门,因为那里没有德拉威人。

What is Wrong in calling yourself a Brahmin. Problem lies with people who adversely react to such issues.
称自己为婆罗门有什么错?
问题在于那些对这些问题有意见的人。

Nothing wrong if he says I am brahmin. The country where we live jobs/ campas admissions/ election seats etc decides on cast basis . So why hue and cry . India heading nowhere .
他说自己是婆罗门,这也没有错。在我们国家,工作、学校招生、选举席位等都是由种姓决定的。干嘛大呼小叫的,印度毫无前途。
Raj Rajan
Tamil nadu is not a place for bramins to live in.
泰米尔纳德邦不适合婆罗门生活

是婆罗门,那又怎么了?
我为自己是婆罗门而骄傲,我会说上千遍。
我支持苏雷什。
做一个骄傲的婆罗门,
所有德拉威政客都娶了婆罗门女孩,或者娶了第二任妻子,双标!

Many educated people wants casteless society but very proud to highlight their 'caste' identity in public.. shame
许多受过教育的人想要没有种姓制度的社会,但很自豪的在公共场合强调他们的种姓身份,无耻

I am proud to be a Brahmin....this birth....next birth....every other brith...
我为自己是婆罗门而骄傲,生生世世…
Bharat Balasubramanian
If stating himself as Brahmin is bad... Then let every other caste be removed from Tamilnadu. People only get annoyed when a Brahmin states his caste... This double standards should stop.
如果说自己是婆罗门是不好的,那废除泰米尔纳德邦的所有种姓。只有当婆罗门表明自己的种姓时,人们才会生气。应该停止这种双标。

As a sportperson he just needs to learn to appreciate working with everyone, regardless of caste and religion.
作为一名运动员,他只需要学会与每个人合作,无论其种姓和宗教。
Rajeeb Misra
is it a crime to be born a bramhin? after all raina didn't say this with a castist bent. let's not interpret which was not intended by him.
生为婆罗门也有罪吗?
毕竟苏雷什说这些话的时候并不带种姓偏见。
还是别妄自揣测了。

People get jealous and get into low self esteem when they hear the word Brahmin. Its not the problem of brahmins.
人们一听到婆罗门这个词就会嫉妒、自卑。这不是婆罗门的问题。

We need to figure out who is this anti-social person who is creating such headlines to create unrest among people
我们需要弄清楚这样的头条新闻是谁制造的,挑起民愤
Mukund Rajan
Tamils mindset needs to change.just a praise for brahmins doesn't make any illegal to other communities.tamilians should learn tolerance and present generation of tamil brahmins are quite, harmless community.
泰米尔人的心态需要改变。对婆罗门的赞美并不意味着贬低其他社群。
泰米尔人应该学会宽容,现在的泰米尔婆罗门是相当无害的群体。
