This message is for those who exhibit racial or regional intolerance to others and not to any specific Mr Deol, Mr mitra etc. There are always black sheeps in community or dirty fish in pond. I hope these people will understand. Not too many people learn from history that races worldover have achieved success only when they come work together. I dont need to explain US, Europion Union, Japan, korea, Australia. There were thousands of wars and millions killed among irish, scottish, french in last 1000 years but now they are most strong countries because they have come together and come above their petty differences. But we indians, despite having best of all traits : Bravery (North indians) ,business (western) ,education (South),literature (Bengalis) havent made a mark in world as an indians but as punjabis, bengalis, marathis etc. Result ? we lost to a country 1/50 in our size and population. Every community have their own strenghs and weaknesses but that doesnt mean you should start picking on them for petty fun. In US a dakota resident would equally cheer for texas guy in NBA/NFL/MLB when fighting against other countries etc. Problem in indians is, they have too much hauteur among them of the traits they have. They start generalising thing too quick. If Ganguly played bad doesnt mean whole West bengal is responsible and similiarly for others. why whole marathis are blamed for Gavaskar's immature comments. The day we can come together and play for nation, we can beat whole world in all the sports and not just australia in a test match series played in australia. Thanks

well said mate. as long as we continue to exhibit parochialism we will continue to be ruled by Machiavellian netas. really rankles bcoz we lag behind due to these tendencies when we have the potential to be on par with the best.

Very well said dear !! But in this case , BCCI ( an Indian cricket body with sick minded people like More,Pawras,Niru Shah,Dungarpur) encouraged Chappel ,instead of checking him in dividing & demoralising the team.hence more than chappel ,it is BCCI which is anti national
