**NEW DELHI** – Yograj Singh, father of former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has once again ignited a firestorm of controversy following a podcast appearance where he made shockingly sexist and violent statements. Singh, himself a former cricketer, claimed that the Hindi language sounds like a woman speaking, asserting that while pleasant on a woman, it is unfitting for men. He further stated that women should not be given power, claiming they will “destroy” families and nations, citing Indira Gandhi’s tenure as an example. His comments have been widely condemned on social media as misogynistic and offensive.
In the podcast interview, Singh also revealed he once visited Kapil Dev’s home armed with a gun, intending to shoot him. This admission adds another layer to the controversy, highlighting Singh’s history of provocative and inflammatory statements.
The backlash against Singh’s remarks has been swift and widespread, with numerous social media users criticizing his views and calling for accountability. Many pointed out the hypocrisy of his statements, given that his own mother and wife are women.
This latest incident adds to Singh’s long record of controversial pronouncements, raising concerns about the impact of such statements on public discourse and the image of Indian cricket. The incident has sparked a renewed debate on misogyny in public life and the need for greater accountability for hate speech.
