While surfing through the archive section of a leading daily newspaper on internet, this news titled, Sachin, Dhoni at opening of cricket academy, hit my eyes. Yes, M.S. Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar were star attractions for the inaugural function of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation Vengsarkar cricket academy at Thergaon on October 24.
Now the news story behind the news which I managed to get, or say, observe is very much important and worth taking a note.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, the cricketing God, is a Maharashtrian, but for all his life has been simply best to represent India globally through his game. On the other hand is Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a Bihari(North Indian) the emerging youth superstar of Indian Cricket. But when they are on field together in Indian team, do they distinguish themselves as Bihari or Marathi? No, coz they represent India, a soverign, secular, diverse, cultural, yet united Nation.
Again Mr. Vengsarkar, who organized this event is a Maharashtrian, but did he distinguish between the two??. No. Our diversity has made us an unique nation and we should use appropriate measures to maintain it.
Through this article I beg all the readers to open up their brains and not to support politicians or leaders who try to divide India on regional, language or caste basis. By 2020 we want to be super power. If we fight amonst ourself we won't be able to make a slightest progress.
It's time for globalization, it's time for modern religion, it's time for progress and it's time for us to work together, where every one is equal and same, irrespective their caste.
JAI HIND!
