Precocicity in valourous corelated core issues validicate the euphemism of renal deregoration. Hayden's remark is platidunally inconsistent to the vagaries of a great nation. Come on India your time has come
This is nothing but weeping over loss in Cricket. What would Hayden have said if Aus. lost to Britain in the game? If that happens, will UK become a Third World country too?
Mr. Hayden, don't think your country is so great. In which field (science, technology, manufacturing, arts...) is Aus. at top or near the top? You Australlians are English speaking Arabs who work little and enjoy at the peak.
Hi. Boy oh boy things are getting very PC indeed when a common enough expression such as third world causes such offense to those living in one. Come on guys, face facts... you ARE a third world country. It's not the size of your population or GDP that matters, it's the standard of living in one's country that determines whether or not it's first world or third, and the fact is that the poorest, most disadvantaged person in Australia lives like a king in comparison to the vast majority of Indians is proof we're a hell of a lot better off than you are. That's why we're first world and you're not. But I love India, don't get me wrong, and you gave us what we deserved on the cricket pitch. As for Hayden, he just told it like it was and goon on him for being honest I say.

I think the point you have missed here is not that India is not a third world nation, but more that, rather than gracefully accept defeat Matthew Hayden feels the need to discuss the development of a country that has beaten his in a sporting contest. It shows a lack of respect for the sport more than anything else. Incidentally, Australia may currently be first world as a result of its past transgressions against the indigenous people of that continent, but it is annoying to hear Australians talk about India in such a way when their economy is in a few years time will be a joke compared to the Indian economy. This is just another example of misplaced Australian arrogance.
Re: Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 19, 2008 09:29 AM
you say 'I think the point you have missed here is not that India is not a third world nation'. Don't you mean 'I think the point you have missed here is not that India is a third world nation' etc etc...? That would make your statement make more sense. Using double negatives in prose is so confusing, and should be avoided. Anyway, you and others are STILL missing the point. It's not the size of your economy, how old your country is, how rich your culture is, how many people you can cram into your borders, how big your guns are, how many armymen you have etc etc that defines a country as first or third world, it's where ALL your citizens are well served in terms of social infrastructure, things like universal high quality health care, a high average full-time wage (in Australia it's around US$55,000), whether or not there's generous and universal social security safety nets like unemployment benefits, pensions, disabled care facilities; whether or not there's good sanitation, safe drinking water from every tap in the land, excellent paved roads, sewers, guttering; whether there's low unemployment rates (Australia is 4%); whether there's a high degree of law and order for everyone feels safe, all the time, a strong police force, courts, public officials and police free from corruption, excellent building standards, free and high quality primary, secondary and tertiary education for all etc. THIS is what defines a country as first or third world regardless of size.

no no. i meant I think the point you have missed here is not that India is not a third world nation. That is not a double negative - pleae check with someone else. The statement means that that the missed point is not about india not being 3rd world. If you need anything else explained just let me know. I like helping those less fortunate than me.
Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 20, 2008 03:40 PM
Sorry Ash Rai, that is a double negative. I'm being a bit picky I know, but what I say is nonetheless correct.

Gosh Sabtarshi, can you really be serious? you wrote 'prizes for guessing whu no oz has won the nobel prize for literature mate? because they are 'picky' about 'double negatives'.....hahaha', and WE'RE the illiterate ones? FYI an australian did win the Nobel Price for literature. It was Patrick White, in 1973. You really should check your facts, and your spelling, before casting aspersions on others.
Re: Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Ash Rai on Nov 21, 2008 07:37 AM
what i said was "I think the point you have missed here is not that India is not a third world nation" - if you cancel the negatives out it reads "I think the point you have missed here is that India is a third world nation" which is not what i am saying. Understood yet or should i explain further?
Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Ash Rai on Nov 21, 2008 07:35 AM
its not a double negative - im saying you the missed point is not that india isnt a 3rd world nation. not a double negative - go ask an english teacher. India is an emerging economy. Its not first world - but as said before 3rd world is an irrelevant term . If it makes you happy, you can say there are third world aspects and first world aspects - but what has that got to do with cricket? And why is Matthew Hayden talking Whatever India is - why is Matthew Hayden justifying the aussie team's loss in this way? It makes a mockery of the sport and of your country. He himself will have to apologise for it if he ever wants to get paid by the IPL again!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Ash Rai on Nov 19, 2008 04:23 PM
....and even still, in your eagerness to find fault with correct English, you have not managed to understand the point. Its not that we care about him saying 3rd world because we think it is first world. The reason that we dont like him talking in that way is because it undermines the game and is irrelevant. Can your tiny australian mind grasp that? Nobody is talking about military size etc etc.
Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 20, 2008 02:45 AM
But read through some of the other comments Ash Rai. There's a lot of talk about how mighty India is based on military strength etc. from your fellow countrymen. I still don't quite get the point you're making so just answer yes or no to this question: In your opinion, is India a third world nation... yes or no.
Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 22, 2008 05:01 AM
Hi again Ash Rai. You wrote 'If it makes you happy, you can say there are third world aspects and first world aspects - but what has that got to do with cricket?'. Just to remind you, Hayden said this "Often we find ourselves waiting with hands on hips for someone to face up or someone on the sight board to move away or some of those little frustrations happening with third world countries". He was saying that the criticism that the Aussie over rates were too slow was not the fault of the Aussies, but rather that of the slack Indian officiating and 'game management' for want of a better term. He attributed this lack of standards and resultant over slowness to a general shiftlessness evident in poorer nations he plays in, places like Pakistan, the West Indies, Sri Lanka and India. He and others the world over refers to these countries as 'third world'. So you see, the fact a nation is 'third world' has a lot to do with cricket.

You will only be glad to be in the third world, mate.

Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 17, 2008 01:01 PM
Hey guys, can we focus on the question? Third world... what does it mean? Has anyone contributing here bothered looking it up in a dictionary? Wikipedia defines it thus: 'Third World is a name given to nations that are generally considered to be underdeveloped economically. The name Third World arose during the Cold War to refer to nations that did not belong to the First or Second Worlds. While there is debate over the appropriateness of the term, and no alternative is without detractors, the term is one embraced by many Third World nations themselves, particularly in the Non-Aligned Movement'. So you can have all the long history, rich culture, sprawling population, massive defense force, computer nerds etc you like, but basically the question remains: how materially well off is the average Indian, how good is health care, social services, unemployment benefits, infrastructure (i.e. sewerage, roads, state pensions, public housing, human rights etc etc. If you say "huh? what's that?" to any one of the above questions, you're third world buddy, sorry. Now stop being so sensitive and get busy fixing things so your average Indian can have a better standard of living than a penniless person on unemployment benefits in Australia, something that currently doesn't exist where you live.

If Australia's so bad why do we have thousands of immigrants from India and many more thousands being rejected because we can't accommodate them. We also have thousands of Indian illegal immigrants overstaying tourist visas. Not exactly the behavior of people who live in such a paradise as India. BTW there's no immigration from Australia to India. Why is that?
Re: Re: Saying third world non PC now?

And another thing my friend. You say 'we would rather be third world and be respected for what we are rather than be ur great island with it's first world amenities'. Apart from you and other Indian's who said you're respected and we're not, and on what basis? BTW most Aussies are NOT descendants of convicts as it's a nation of free immigrants. But that notwithstanding, our convict descendants are VERY proud of their ancestry as most of them were sent out from England on the flimsiest of charged (e.g. stealing an handkerchief etc) and was just a lazy solution by the Brits in the late 1800's to avoid the hard work of social reform needed to lift the bulk of urban dwellers out of poverty. check your facts before mouthing off fella!

Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 20, 2008 08:26 AM
For starters the 'slaughter' of Australian Aboriginals was done in unenlightened times past, just as you Indians down the ages have slaughtered on another for this or that reason. Enlightened societies don't do 'slaughter' anymore so to hold the current generations of Australians responsible to past atrocities is not different to accusing today's Indians of being responsible for the genocide and slaughter committed by Indians in the past; it's downright unreasonable and uncalled for. As to the welfare of Australian Aboriginals, you'll be pleased to learn that we whites provide them with lavish and totally obligation free financial support from cradle to grave. we even build entire communities for them to live, even if it's way out in the remote parts of Australia, educate them to the highest level they want to go to, including university, and all at the cost of billions of dollars per year. There are thousands of earnest and selfless whites committed to ensuring the 'first Australians' are given every opportunity to grow and prosper. That said, this well meaning but wrong-headed paternalism has had the opposite effect of that intended over the past few decades, with the freedoms and equal opportunities afforded Aboriginals resulting in them being a largely dysfunctional community with disgracefully low life expectancy (about 50 years only) due to chronic alcohol and drug abuse, poor diet and lifestyle, all the product of too much unconditional welfare.

Dude, we r not taking offense on the fact that we are a 3rd world country. But we certainly are peeved that the "sour grape" attitude of Aussies. Did u in ur right mind-set ever think that Hayden called India a 3rd world country keeping in mind the standard of living, he simply mentioned the cliche phrase as a symbol of his disgust and sourness for losing. These same guys made a mountain of a mole-hill when someone chants "monkey" (though they themselves can get away with abuse that will make u cringe) but have no qualms in generically branding people as "3rd world" as an xcuse for losin a series.
Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Guest on Nov 18, 2008 09:22 AM
I think this "sore loser" attitude and the hypocrisy are the main reasons why Aussies can never be termed a champion side. This is what differentiated them from Brazil, Roger Federer, the Windies of the 80s or even Richie Benaud's team. Also, look at the hypocrisy, Ponting prides in the fact that they play tough on the field and patch it all up off the field & yet his lieutenant is acting like a bloated cry-baby after having rached the "safety" of his home.

I wonder how ur condition wud have been if u had to manage a 100 crore population with diverse cultures, religion, heritage; if u had got independance 60 years back...considering the constraints, India has done a good enough job, which can b improved upon
Re: Re: Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Pathikrit on Nov 18, 2008 09:39 AM
Mr. Greg Graham, since u seem to be so knowledgeable, allow me to remind u that the term 3rd world was coined in the cold war not to refer to underdeveloped nations, but to those who refused to join any of the super-power blocs (like the NAM). They didnt belong to the 1st & 2nd worlds not on the basis of their economic deficiencies, but bcoz they wanted to stay away from the polarisation. It was only afterwards that the 1st & 2nd worlds (in response to the non commitment of the 3rd world) made "economic deficiencies" synonymous with 3rd world countries.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Pathikrit on Nov 18, 2008 09:45 AM
Further, Greg, we are actually deviating from the main topic. Hayden didnt label India as 3rd world on the basis of cold war history (i sincerely doubt if he has this much of GK)..he simply said "3rd world" as a synoym to "3rd rate" or "3rd class"...he just needed to give vent to his frustrations at losing. A case of sour grapes. And these same aussies term us as racist, yet these same "virtuous" gentlemen have no qualms in "branding" others. Sour grapes & hypocrisy !!
Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 18, 2008 09:52 AM
That's an intelligent and reasoned response Pathikrit. It would be challenging to be an Indian given what you say, and my circumstances and those of my fellow Australians are the result of good fortune rather than design. It infuriates me to see a great many Australians sitting around doing absolutely nothing constructive yet complaining about how badly off they are, yet all the while receiving government assistance of around US$300 per week each plus extra for their fatherless children (in the case of single mothers) and provided free and beautiful housing again courtesy of the Australian taxpaying public. If these malingerers could only spend a month in a third world country they'd never complain about there lot again I assure you! These types and many other Australians just don't know how good we have it.

I think you are right Graham, people never appreciate that which was stolen and not earned....just ask the indigenous people of your nation - if you can find one that is!
Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 19, 2008 09:08 AM
220 years ago I doubt the British asked the indigenous people of Australia if they had any objections to them being conquered and even if they did it's unlikely the answer would have been 'yes, go right ahead'. As someone once said 'to the victors go the spoils of war', although the locals put up little resistance due to the fact they were basically a stone age people with little more than rocks and sticks as weapons. This is how history goes and there's no sense in carping on about the injustices perpetrated on others of our forefathers. India has done the same in times gone by as have most peoples who have been powerful at some point in history. I dare say India will swarm out of it's borders as some future point and take what it can, especially considering that massive and ever growing population of yours. I doubt there'll be much talk about the injustices of that aggression when it comes, more likely some pap about how it's justified given all the past injustices blah blah...

Re: Saying third world non PC now?

India has never invaded or conquered other lands. But if we were to conquer Australia and leave a hand full of people there before harping on about how advanced we are - not militarily, or in technology or in space exploration, or in diverse industry - but in benefits!!!!! - i think you may feel a little irked too. Back to the point, M Hayden is an absolute fool for talking against a nation of 1 billion people after a game of cricket. It is uncalled for, clearly irrelevant and outdated. As noted by someone else, the term third world is irrelevant these days and i dont feel that social inequality in india is anything to do with the hammering in the recent series that India bestowed on australia. As an australian graham you are furthering the idea that you aussies area nation of stupid, uneducated, foolish English-wanabee jokers. You should attempt to restore some pride for your fellow countrymen by distancing yourself from such comments - not basking in anonymity whilst attempting to be patriotic about something so ridiculous.

Re: Saying third world non PC now?
by Greg Graham on Nov 18, 2008 05:00 PM
Thanks Pathikrit. We're not off topic really. To bring it back it the original discussion, as I understand it, Sub Continental Indians, and probably many Australians and others, objected to the supposedly insensitive observation by Matthew Hayden that the slow over rate was due mostly to the fact that the Indian officials and functionaries were inefficient in their jobs and that this was a typical behavior he and (presumably the rest of the team) was used to experiencing in third world nations. Now Pathikit, haven't you visited some country where things just aren't up to scratch and it's frustrated you?Maybe you've even uttered some racist remark under your breath about the stupid locals? Maybe Hayden was correct in his claim that things aren't run quite as tightly as he's used to in other first world nations and maybe he's right, but I agree with everyone that he was insensitive and stupid to say such thing and should be seriously reprimanded for his comments.

This is one the way of ignoring the Australians I think enough has written about the topic .Now let us stop as per ur thinking
It apperars that Hyden do not know about Austrian history. As usual any human behavious do have the inherent linkage so also is in the case of Mr.Hyden. Here I wish to mention that the present white population of Australia are on account of the crimnals and scoundrels of First Victorian era were packed in a ship by the queen and Captain Cook was asked him to remove such people from England. Captain Cook landed in Austrialia and dropped few of them who have now grown in number. Most of the English people usually utter a rubbish Autralian by B (Bas...). The way and with the spirits of Mr.Heyden do identifiy him with his ancesstors. Let us for give his comments and ignore him as we Indians do not belong to such a culture of Mr.Heyden
