I APOLOGIZE IF THIS THREAD WILL HURT READER's FEELINGS:
However, I couldn't resist myself after watching the news today morning?
Saamna - Shivsena's mouthpiece has published a full (FRONT) page article asking Sachin to concentrate on his International Cricket career and not indulge in Political views. And what did Sachin address to the media in that press conference: I am proud to be a Maharashtrain, but I am also proud to be an Indian. Mumbai is a part of India. It was reported in that article that Sachin's statement has hurt the feelings of 'Marathi Manoos'.

Your thoughts on this ever-controversial topic? It all started a some months ago and has taken up a lot of heat in the recent months.
 
Let's put it this way....
If the Shiv Sena and their types had even a smattering of intelligence, there is no way a corrupt, inefficient, nepotism-ridden, misgoverning bunch like the Congress-NCP could possible have come to power again.
Unfortunately, the SS thinks people care about BS like this...
 
I THINK SACHIN HAS SAID CORRECT WHAT IS DERE TO HURT THE SENTIMETS OF THE PEOPLE DOES RAJ THAKERY OR BAL THAKERY NEED AUTONOMY IN STATE . PERPHAPS WE HAVE ALL FORGETTEN WHAT HAPPENED IN 1984 IN PUNJAB THIS WAS TOTALLY AN ANNOYING STATEMENT FROM THE SIDE OF SAMNA AS I ALWAYS SAID INDIAN PEOPLE ARE VERY EMOTIONAL AND LEADERS PERFECTLY KNW HOW TO TAKE THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SOFT SIDE OF INDIAN MASSES U CAN TAKE ANY BIG HAPPENING IN INDIA IT WAS ONE AND ANOTHER LEADER WAS RESPONSIBLE .

WE KNW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PAK THEY ARE FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES AND PAK IS ON THE VERGE OF COLLASPING INTO 4 STATES BALUCHISTAN,SINDH,WAJIRISTAN AND PAK ITSELF R THESE PEOPLE WANNA TO C INDIA INTO 28 SEPARATE NATIONS .NATION IS OURS WE HAVE TO DECIDE "
 
Well a very sad thing which we are seeing these days. News coming from Maharastra are not good if some leaders thinks that a particular state is their property then these leaders should be taken to primary school to teach about India. India starts from Kashmir and exists till kanyakumari and everyone who is living in India is not punjabi, rajasthani,gujrati marathi etc everyone in India is Indian and every Indian is free to live, earn and grow in any part of India. Our politicians cannot exceed their limits and become the owners of particular states so we must not support such leadership and leaders.
If this war of states and regionalism continued like this it will have very very bad impact on integrity and unity of India.

STOP REGIONALISM SAVE INDIA !!!!!!!111111

Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray, self-styled champion of Marathi pride and sons of the soil, is facing bouncers from all directions after taking on cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar over his comment that Mumbai is for all Indians.

Sachin, non-controversial cricketer and darling of millions, told reporters on the occasion of his completion of 20 years in international cricket, said:" I am a Maharashtrian and I am extremely proud of that. But I am an Indian first. And Mumbai belongs to all Indians".

His remarks assumed significance in the wake of a hate campaign against north Indians launched by breakaway Shiv Sena group the Maharashtra Navnirmal Sena headed by Thackeray's nephew Raj Thackeray and the recent fracas created by MNS members in the Maharashtra Assembly against

Samajwadi member Abu Azmi in protest against his taking oath of office in Hindi. He was roughed up. The MNS had also cut into the shiv Sena vote, leading to the BJP-Sena alliance losing badly to the ruling Congress-Nationalist Congress alliance in the recent State elections.

The Shiv Sena has, therefore, felt the need to strike a more militant, more parochial posture to recover lost ground. And Sachin's comment came in handy for Bal Thackeray whose goons dug up the Wankhade stadium years ago when he opposed India playing cricket matches against Pakistan.

Writing in the Sena mouthpiece "Samna", the Sena patriarch has said Sachin has hurt Marathi feelings by saying Mumbai belongs to all and thereby encouraging further migration of outsidres into the megapolis. As he put it:" While speaking of Marathi pride, why did you have to take a

'cheeky single' by bringing in Mumbai? You have been run out from the pitch of the Marathi heart".

Mr Thackeray has said 105 people had died in the long struggle for the creation of Maharashtra and the retention of Mumbai as its caital."Mumbai cannot belong to anyone else. Even if it is the economic capital of India, it is the capital of Maharashtra first".

"Don't lose the gains in cricket field by entering the political arena", he has warned Sachin.

This has provoked a howl of protests not only from the opposition Congress and other parties, but even the BJP.

Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said:"There is nothing with Sachin's remarks. He is fully correct. I don't think anybody can take exception to it( his remark). India is proud of him and he is proud of being an Indian".

Going one step further, BJP spokesman Mukhtar Abbas Nawvi has said:"Since our childhood, we have believed that the country comes first, the state next and self last".
Maharashtra's congress Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has said Sachin's remark will unite the country.

Congress spokesman Manish Tewari said Mr Thackeray's statement should be thrown into the dustbin. Accusing parties like the Shiv Sena of raising the identity issue for narrow political gains, Mr Tewari has said such attacks on India's diverse and plural character has been rejected time and again by the people.
 
@HARSHA6183

Didn't get the statement that u made...
"bcs of sachins lack of change in batting style"

Good to see that all spoke in favor of Sachin Tendulkar...
But it's not about him but the statement that he made and it was correct.
 
its sad that people have forgotten the meaning of secularism in india...undoubtedly ..whatever was said by sachin tendulkar stands right ...but theres one more very important fact ..that he is a living legend ..and has made india proud..so why target him ..thats a huge sin!
 
When i first saw him, i was in 8th std. Coming from school i forgot to pull my bag down and still holding my water bottle seeing a 16 yr old bat on TV, hitting the likes of Wasim Akram and Abdul Qadir with caressing sixes. When i saw his composure as a batsman i thought India has made the retired Gavaskar than i saw he hits huge sixes. Oh he hits as far as Vivian Richards. I rightly got it when he said he modelled himself to be a combination of both. Its a previledge that i saw this man bat for the nation and still going strong even after 2 decades. It hasnt come as a surprise to me that he has played for 20 yrs as Cricket is like God for Sachin. No wonder why he is kohinoor of Indian Cricket.
 
I clearly remember his first series in Pakistan. At the end of the series there was one friendly match and no one can forget the flury of sixes hit by this young man to a master bowler like Abdul Qadir. Even the then skipper Srikant who has been named as a Blaster had to restrict himself to clap his hands on the otherside of the wicket.
Tendulkar has revolutionalised the strokeplay of power play overs. In Newzealand when he was asked to open the innings he is the one who started hitting over the heads in the initial overs which was subsequently been adapted by likes of Jayasurya, Sehwag, Gayle etc etc.
 
In the West Indies. It was in Guyana I first saw Gavaskar and the came postgraduate batsman Tendulkar. There was a poster outside the Borda cricket ground in Guyana. There were pictures of Indian players and state they came from. Something like Mahrastra stood behind Sachins name. Azaruddin also has his state mentioned, but i forgot. Someone who once played for the West Indies was sitting 3 or 4 chairs away from me. He commented on each and every ball. I could hear him talk. In fact he compared him with Gavaskar. A perfect defense. But someone who will not waste his wicket or a ball. I kept listening to the former West Indian player. He said this man Tendulkar is the most perfect front foot player a roll model. In fact people do now that during a cricket match all sorts of comparisons are made.
