Paul's case is a typical case of a bikini, it hides more than it reveals, at least on the basis of this article. Paul was not exactly charitable when he said that Indian managers have cocoon mentality. After all Paul too has Indian blood and comes from the same cocoon as everybody else does; as proven by the fact that when it came to the crunch, even great Paul dithered; achieving something like a billion dollar plus only, against a target of four billion dollars.
He could be similarly compared to another of Indian icon, Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin made unimaginable amount of money; and was supposed to achieve nothing less than a World Cup for India. What he achieved instead was a few Hero Cups, if at all on his own. Excessive Hero worshipping has been unfortunately a bane of Indian society. Over indulgence in mediocre Sania Mirza and Kartikeyan are other cases which readily come to mind.
