Palwankar Baloo was the greatest Indian cricketer of his time who deserves to be remembered and celebrated for shining through oppressive caste prejudices.
With 20.2 percent of its total loans in default by the end of last year, Bangladesh had the weakest banking system in Asia. Despite reforms, it will take time to recover.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Palwankar, A great player. Agreed! He was fantastic and worth remembering! Agreed. But, what is this title “… DALIT Cricketer.” He is a good player bcoz he played good, which is the result of inherrent passion and practice. How, Dalitb or non Dalit reflects on his game? Why do we want caste aspect in every thing. Infact it is humiliating for Dalits.
His son Yeshwant Baloo Palwankar was a great left handed cricketer too. An allrounder, he captained Ruia College . He was a very strict captain and would not tolerate any missed fielding or dropped catch. He once sent off his wicket keeper in a friendly match. He was selected for the combined university team against West Indies. His selection in the Bombay team was cut short due to a difference of opinion with Vijay Metchant who was a selector. He gracefully retired and moved to Pune.
