Many Tried To Change My Religion But Did Not Succeed: Pak Cricketer Danish Kaneria Says He Is A Proud Hindu

Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria who was discriminated against in his national cricket team, revealed on Thursday (30 January) that many over the years have tried to change his religion but have failed.

Kaneria made this statement after a twitter user urged him to accept Islam as “life without Islam is nothing”.

Kaneria while hosting a Q&A session on twitter also asserted that he is a proud Hindu and promised to reveal the names of all those who discriminated against him in the Pakistan national team.

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar had recently revealed that Danish Kaneria faced discrimination from his fellow teammates for being a Hindu.

Akhtar while speaking on a Pakistani TV channel revealed how Kaneria was ill-treated on multiple occasions and was robbed of credit for victories, all for being a Hindu.

He added that team-members used to be angered over Kaneria taking food from the same serving bowls as them and was never credited for helping Pakistan win the test series against England.
