India, Pakistan and Multidimensional Rivalry



  Not all that long ago they were One. Even today One can find no principal uncommon between the now-so-called arch-rivals. Be it food and language, religion and culture or sport and administration they are One in more than one way.

   These two neighbours have always been good in several sports but they meet on ground occasionally- during international events of ICC or FIH (International Hockey Federation). Perhaps they like to meet in International Organisations like UN and ICJ (International Court of Justice) more.

   Regardless of the domain they get involve, inevitably it is a contest for them. The reason behind is the involvement of collective emotions of their townspeople as they react to every pernickety.

   They are called arch-rivals as their rivalry exists in several disciplines be it sports, trade, terrorism, boundaries including sea or even the internal affairs of either nation. They always be in news, trying to evince one another the crook in the court of international arbitrator.

   Due to their rivalries their matches have been so far viewed politically. Even if the sports boards of the respective nations are agree to have bilateral ties it has been rescinded by the political chair-holders.

   Probably no one knows- if how long it will last ? But how long two good teams would be kept away from a close fight ? When will they get the chance to judge their talent and sharpen their finesse?

Still the names Sir Garfield Sobers, Gordon Greenidge, Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Sir Andy Robert, Sir Curtly Ambrose, Michael Holding, Courtney Walsh and Sir Viv Richards act as synonyms to cricket.    But gone are those days, now bread alone is equally delicious as with butter.    They recently won ICC World Twenty20 (2016) but are just above Afganistan in ICC ODI rankings at 9th. They still have the players-to-beat in the form of Gayle, Bravo, Narine, Pollard, Samueles, Badri or Holder but not a team. They are not able to make a team, sometimes it is pay-dispute or other relates to players' discipline and behaviour or even the bureucracy and racialism in some cases.    Among the 8 tea
