Why can’t India vs Pakistan be just another match?
The rivalry between India and Pakistan in sports, particularly cricket and hockey, has always been intense and filled with national pride. However, the significance of these matches goes beyond the game itself, as they become a proxy for settling political scores. The toxic politics and history of conflict between the two nations fuel this intense rivalry. While the sub-continental rivalry is celebrated and milked by television, it is important to remember that sports should not be seen as substitutes for war. The ultimate goal for India should be to win World Cups and achieve success in all formats of cricket.
