Dear Murli I think you are right in reprimanding me here because I should have gone with the essence of what Ramanathan has stated rather than pointing out factual inaccuracy in that. Now I was forced to correct it because of two reasons: 1) I happen to come from a small state Uttaranchal which also happens to be the origin state of Dhoni and we have the tendency to claim him as our own. and 2) I am a quizzer by passion and specially have a liking for trivia. So when you said %u201Cwash your knowledge man%u201D and he %u201Ctook birth in Ranchi in 1981%u201D I just decided to check the fact that I was so sure of and found on Wikipedia (though not the most certain source of data but can bet it%u2019s the one used by you as well) that he was born in Almora (Uttarakhand) from where his parents moved to Rachi. Now it does not make him any less Jharkhandi (and not Bihari, as you just can%u2019t use any terminology to suit yourself. In fact if your contention is that it was one political entity till 2003 I can ask you to just go back 60 odd years when Bihar was a part of Bengal presidency and in that way Dhoni becomes a Bengali). Now after justifying myself on facts I just wish there is peace and prosperity in the country.
