Harbhajan Singh shared a strong message to fellow Indians to stop indulging in unnecessary religious fights between Hindu and Muslims. He feels that there are much more bigger things to achieve as a country rather then fighting amongst ourselves.
As the FIFA World Cup final was about to begin, Indian off spinner Harbhajan Singh got to Twitter and decided to send an important message to all Indians. He tweeted that a small country of about 50 lakh has reached the World Cup final while we in India, with a population of 135 crore, continue to play the Hindu-Muslim game. He followed up the comment with the hashtag “#sochbadlodeshbadlega”.

In the tweet he wrote, “लगभग 50 लाख की आबादी वाला देश क्रोएशिया फ़ुटबॉल वर्ल्ड कप का फाइनल खेलेगा और हम 135 करोड़ लोग हिंदू मुसलमान खेल रहे है।#soch bdlo desh bdlega”. A day later, he called for the tweet to be taken positively and an option to learn and improve.
“I don’t think there is any need to overreact on my tweet. What I wanted to say I have already done that. I feel we should look at the positive side of it. It is obviously hurting to see that in spite of being such a huge nation, and having such a great sporting culture, we are still decades away from playing the football world cup finals,” Harbhajan said.
Indian team is ranked 97th in overall football rankings.
