Well Caught With Giri And Raghu - Separate Gates, Separate Dressing Rooms (EP1) 20th July 2023
from Radio Azim Premji University · host Radio Apu
Ep 1 - Separate Gates, Separate Dressing Rooms It’s a beautiful day for cricket. The turf is green. The radio is crackling. The scoreboard is ticking. The crowd is cheering. And the sun is beginning to set on the British Empire. We travel in time to an age when caste and class divide the pavilion. On and off the field, cricket reflects the discrimination that prevails in colonial societies. Players are segregated, teams assigned ethnic names, and coloured players docked their pay for using gates meant for white Englishmen. Yet, it is this golden age that gives us greats like Ranjitsinhji and Duleepsinhji, and later Griffith and Sobers. Many new flags flutter in the winds of change as the colonies assert their independence. A game designed to cement the British Commonwealth takes on a life of its own and engenders a new world order.
