It looks a silly case against Tendulkar. Definitely, he would't have done had he known in advance. The real culprits are the Indian High Commission people at Jamaica. Poor, Tendulkar. When a man is down, things happen all against him. But, don't worry, Sachin we the fans may criticise you for your game but will stand by you in this case.

The fact of the matter is as follows.
1. Sachin did break the law. 2. As per the constitution of India, every citizen is supposed to know the constitution and the laws of the land.
If we want to ignore what Sachin did against the laws of India, well... it is our choice.
My question to all of you is this. If this act, against the laws of India, was committed by a common man, with no fame to boot, would he be let go? Would you be even interested in taking up his case like you are taking it up for Sachin just now?
Nobody is disputing Sachin's contribution to Indian Cricket. The issue raised against Sachin has nothing to do with Cricket. It is about upholding the laws of the land. Where do you draw the line?
The guy has not even had the decency to apologise for what he did so far!
I think he should be stripped off his Arjuna Award for this act, instead of being sent to jail for 3 years with a fine. That should send a message to all Indians, including Sachin.

I'd say even the Indian High Comission ppl didnt do anything wrong. What wrong with having a cake with Indian colours? Anyone who thinks its an insult is neurotic.
All this 'showy patriotism' is bull%%%%. Just be good to ppl arounf you, if u want to be real.
