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.
Canada faces serious foreign interference issues, but these challenges must not be weaponized to unfairly target friendly and important allies like India.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
Among 19 Indian firms sanctioned by US Treasury Dept was Lokesh Machines Ltd accused of coordinating with 'Russian defence procurement agent to import Italy-origin CNC machines'.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
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!
