I'm a teenager in Canada but originally from India. Over here kids laugh at people who speak in an Indian accent because it seems different and harder on the tone than the Canadian accent. Holdings accent would have been mocked if he wasn't talking about this issue. But we as a cricketing community know his importance to the game, his contribution to the game, and the respect he commands as Whispering Death.

Absolutely agree with Mike here! I also think people do make negative perceptions about human beings just by knowing their names and colour without actually speaking with them. Cruel world, sad but true!!

[@marketcrorepati5729]

Same thing uppercaste do with lowercaste in india

[@s4m15v0]

This is really eye-opening stuff from Michael Holding here. Compelling viewing. "We need to go back teach both sides of history. Until we do that, this thing will not stop."

[@tobyleslie3051]

Not to take anything away from Micheal and Nasser - thoughtful legends, both - but Ebony's calm dissection of the stats at the top and vision for the future was a masterclass. And following on from the raw emotion of the first interview - thank you for educating us by opening up to the world and showing the pain you have suffered - so incredibly brave. Ebony for ECB chair, anyone?!

[@ajoysengupta7581]

@g.g he nasser was born in India and brought in Eng

[@harshadborgaonkar4539]

Michael holding is just awesome. He spoke about the issue so eloquently and so authentically. Just love this man since I first saw him on tv since 1970s with that fiery pace and smooth action.

[@mustafaabeer]

When I am watching this video; There are 216 dislikes, that's the point raised by Michael Holding and Nasser Hussain. 2020 in our face!

[@nyosito]

He has been the most insightful and compelling cricket commentator in the world since Richie Benaud's retirement.....and now has proven himself the most insightful and compelling speaker on this important issue. We need to hear much more from him.

[@hamzariazuddin424]

Thanks !!! Brilliantly told by both Michael and Nasser

[@davidhackett4951]

Great cricketer, great man. History cannot dare to forget Michael Holding and the message we still need to learn from him. But I thought Nasser - given the hardest job of following up such a magnificent, heartfelt speech - was also superb.

[@aupaaupa2377]

This can only be the start. Sadly this is still an issue, and we need to carry on. We can't just rest

[@TalibKhan-pw9fp]

Yes, we can't just rest.

[@adamadams7314]

What’s still an issue? What is wrong today?

[@adamadams7314]

Talib Khan what are you referring to specifically?

[@markf9761]

This country is arguably the most diverse and tolerant in the world - do you honestly believe we have the same problems as others around the world?

[@abami12]

Mark F maybe if you live a life where your existence is ‘tolerated’ you will know what everyone is talking about.. when you tolerate someone you’re not welcoming them you’re putting up with them. LPeople who fought with Britain during the wars but no one knows because they are not acknowledged openly On the contrary The colonisers,were welcome as trading partners in Africa but instead massacred populations around the world, wrote history that makes people look less. Divided people and lumped together people groups who didn’t speak the same language or have the same culture into countries of today guaranteed to create wars. Removed progressive governments, dictate the price of materials… [fair trade exists because trading is unfair. ] Farmers that grow cocoa for example live in extreme poverty in a multi billion pound industry, it is structured that way. The history you learned makes it ok for you to say people are tolerated and see it as a good thing !

Sikhs should also protest the caste system which is part of the Guru’s DNA but still is rife in their community. Do the work Guru Nanak would have done.
