I think Sean is pretty spot on with his reply to you. It really has not been an issue like this in the past as evidenced by the many many catches like the one being discussed being given. I think the poor decisions of the umpires here have contributed to this extra scrutiny. For mine, it has been interpreted a catch countless times before and the umpires have already set a precedent.

Probably just posturing trying to force the ICC's hand with regards to Bucknor and Hogg.

Now it has become a question of ICC'S impartiality and their understanding of South asian culture.
Sidhu commented that yesterday that the " monkey word" being called offensive is insult to hinduism and our culture.
why does the match referee only accept the aussie version of events and act according to what they percieve racist and not racist?
This is way important than cricket now.
BCCI has almost confirmed that if harbhajan is not apologised too and let free then tour over as the players are united on this issue and are pressuring the board .
Yesterday there were protests outside board secretary's house,the whole country
is backing the team.

Yep, so has hitting the cover of the ball straight to the keeper, but that still didn't stop an umpire from not giving it out.

If this is true, I have one thing to say to the Indians:
Man up you little bloody crybabies. For Gods sake. So you got a few crappy decisions against you? It's part of the bloody game. Pick yourself up, dust youself off and come back stronger at Perth. If India cancelled the rest of this tour it'd be one of the most gutless, disgusting things to ever happen.
So you think that had the ball popped out of Ponting's hands as he landed, it would still have been a catch?

The Indians will not boycott the rest of the tour, I guarantee it.
Too much money lost, and the BCCI themselves have said they don't want to sour the relationship with Cricket Australia.
They're only still in Sydney for the Harbhajan appeal (if its occuring) and the Brad Hogg hearing.
If Hogg's guilty, I'd love to see the punishment be his tongue is cut off. Even if he's not guilty I reckon it should happen.

No because by result he had neither control of his body or the ball.

Million dollar question is if Harbhajan confessed to inflicting this racial abuse or not. If he has, the Indian team is not justified in doing this.
If he has not, then it is a completely different kettle of fish. Picking Symonds and Ponting's word over Harbhajan's - especially when the stump mics, the Umpires or Sachin didnt catch the alleged tirade - leaves them in a very untenable position.
Not just Harbhajan, but Sachin also went out on a limb saying what he heard was harmless.

It was symonds who went crying to the match referee.
And the match referee banning a innocent player on basis of no neutral evidence is correct?
Next time ,when you come to india after spate of bad decisions in matches(precisely 8-1) ,one of your player is jailed and disgraced for saying something which indians find "racist" but is said commonly in australia while rest of the indian team is getting away for calling symonds a "monkey" and a "chimpanzee" then how will your team react?
chin up my foot.
