I dont know what the author is trying to prove ? Will a CM of a state make a name for rewarding a cricket star by reqarding him with lakhs of rupees, when that guy is worth crores already. Why can't the money be used to feed starving poor ? Agree we won the world cup, but we don't have to make this a show of patriotism. The cricketers belong to India and not to a state. Remember what Shahrukh Khan said in Chakde India ? Play for your country and not for your state. It's sad commentary that Rediff found an author who had nothing better to write about. Please stop the minority appeasement. It will not get you any additional hits or unique viewers.
