Mr Bal Thackeray’s objection to Sachin Tendulkar’s comment is unwarranted. Every Indian feels proud of Tendulkar and of Mumbai for its industrial growth. Mumbaikars and the local politicians of Maharashtra alone cannot have monopoly over Mumbai. The financial capital’s recognition in the global market is a result of everyone’s hardwork, irrespective of his or her regional identity. Like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, etc, are parts of India, Maharashtra too is a part of the country. By denouncing the most celebrated cricketer’s statement, Mr Thackeray is just playing petty politics. He is only a regional leader who cannot speak on behalf of all Indians.
