Why is Suresh Raina facing backlash?
During the opening game of the fifth season of TNPL, Suresh Raina was invited by the commentary team. As he has been playing for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), he was asked how he embraced the culture in Chennai.
In his reply, Raina said, “I am also Brahmin. I’ve lived in and I’ve seen (Chennai), I’ve been playing since 2004 in Chennai. I love the culture, I love my teammates.”

And top of it there should be strong law against Trolling…"
She retweeted a post that read, "Suresh Raina was brutally trolled, 'some' people are calling him casteist 'just' because in an interview he said, 'I THINK I AM A #BRAHMIN'. Well we will have the fundamental right to acknowledge our heritage. Isn't it? Is it a crime? Why people are offended?"
