Apart from willing athleticism, Mansur Ali Khan Tiger Pataudi brought much more that was unfamiliar to Indian cricket. He brought a sense of aggression, and an intent to win.
The dynamics between Europe and Russia have gone so south that mending fences looks like an uphill task—even as the US swings between sanctions and olive branches.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
There were plenty of Muslim stars before and after the great Nawab of Pataudi. Please check out Mohemmad Nissar (first ever Indian test cricket team, 1932), Abid Ali(test debut 1967, Ranji trophy 1958), Syed Kirmani, Salim Durrani (debut 1961), Mohammed Azharuddin and many others. We loved their athleticism, good looks. Afghan-born Durrani was more handsome and debonair than even the reddish-hued Pataudi. Abid Ali was our all-rounder and man for all seasons, long before before Kapil Dev. Kirmani was better than Farokh Engineer. Guptaji is either lazy to do simple google research or has a Muslim victimization agenda to promote.
This guy sees a muslim/hindu in everybody. He seems to be racially profiling everybody. The topic has nothing to do with his headline or blurb! Very racial!
Not too sure whether he was a great batsman, he was certainly a great fielder. As regards his leadership qualities, he was a good captain with a nice balance of aggression and cerebral thinking.
Mesmerizing! Refreshing to see someone of Shekhar Gupta’s calibre has taken it on his own to literate today’s generation about our forgotten heroes, that too a “Muslim star”.
Kapil Dev never claimed to be Haryanvi. He played for Haryana but was raised and lived in Chandigarh. Kapil Dev belongs to Punjabi family and his family speaks Punjabi at home. Real Haryanvi stars are the haryanvi speaking wrestlers. In criket, Delhi player Sehwag is Haryanvi star.
True he was the first agressive Indian cricket captain of radio comentary school days much before perhaps Ganguly was born.

Also, shouldn’t he be the first and most famous Haryanvi? Before Kapil Dev and with none of the characteristics of a Haryanvi stereotype!
