Why is Team India using British-era logo?
Why is the Indian cricket team still using a BCCI logo which resembles 'Star of India' honour given by the British to their favourite princes in colonial times? This is a poser by the Central Information Commission to the Prime Minister's Office and the ministries of sports and law. The Commission said the symbol of the BCCI is similar to the representation of the star of the order on the mantle of British Raj. “After the First War of Indian Independence in 1857, to consolidate its sovereignty over India, the British Crown created a new order of knighthood to honour loyal Indian princes. No such honours were given after 1948. Did anybody notice that the BCCI is still hanging on to this colonial legacy, 'symbolically', and our team flags this logo even today,” the CIC asked.
