How can a "Gambhir Gambhir" or "Sehwag Sehwag" chant or "Vande Mataram" be received by Lankans and demoralising for Sachin? :confused:

^U cheer when sachin gets out, that translates into supporting Sri Lanka...

Nah. I meant after sachin got out and say after a ball or two they should start cheering for the next batsman instead of demoralizing the whole team.

Yeah that kind of chant would be great. But people in very less instances make chants directed to a particular player.

A India-India chant would be great though when crysis in a cricket match goes on.

He is probably in the nets, practicing for IPL. The game is most important to him. He is a batsman, he should concentrate on his batting. If he gets the Bharat Ratna, it will be based on his performances on the pitch, not outside.

That doesn't mean that he will not involve in any good activities or support them. This shows that how money minded they are.

We all are money minded IMHO. If Sachin doesn't bat well, no one will care two hoots about him. Right now, he is involved with Mumbai Indians, so that may be his first priority. I think he should concentrate on his cricket. Anna Hazare has the support of a large number of people in India. That matters more than celebrity support. I want people to bring in a change in the Lokpal bill, not celebrity-backing.

as we are talking about Sachin, I have written a small article:
Bharat Ratna for Sachin Tendulkar. Righteous or Not? | Smile Ok Please

I am not too sure (being fan of Sachin) but I think Bharat Ratna is totally different thing.

To all those clamouring Sachin to go march in for Hazare - Example is better than advice. And no just random retweets and posting in Facebook is not a real example.

Bharat Ratna for Sachin Tendulkar. Righteous or Not? | Smile Ok Please

I am not too sure (being fan of Sachin) but I think Bharat Ratna is totally different thing.

Didn't Lata Mangeshwar get Bharat Ratna as well?

Music is an art my friend. Bharat Ratna is awarded to artists too :)
That's what my point is. It is not for sports and sport is not art.

For me Sports > Music. It's a bigger art, well IMO. Also it gives more pride to the nation. And thus Sachin deserves Bharat Ratna more than Lata Mangeshkar, IMO at least.

Sachin Tendulkar really deserves Bharat Ratna. 22 years of service to the nation. 6 World Cup's he played it. Holds most of records in cricket.

Instead of giving 22 years of his life to cricket and taking India to the top some persons are asking for Bharat Ratna for Dhoni. This is something which can come in the mind of politicians who target vote bank only. Sachin is the first and last choice for Bharat Ratna today. After Sachin give it to Dhoni no body will mind.

About other cricket players - its ok but if you are talking about Sachin, then
I completely disagree. Sachin Tendulkar has donated millions to charity (if you follow him on twitter).
