The writer mentioning the possibility of Marathi biase or for that matter, any regional biase comming into play when dealing with Tendulkar is in very poor taste.
It is a not such a serious matter if the the forumers such allegations. But for an article on rediff to raise questions about the integrity of the BCCI officials and supporters is extremely irresponsible.
If Pawar or Vengsarkar were to be so blindly biased towards Maharashrians as the writer mentions, did they not have a more justifiable opportnuity of including Ramesh Powar in the Indian side? In fact, a big section of the writers on the forum had supported Ramesh Powar's inclusion cutting accross the regional barriers!
This is not an article which would do rediff proud!
