I dont understand why Sachin accepted this Rajya Sabha nomination .He can win any Lok Sabha seat on any given day from any region in India. His chances of winning a Lok Sabha seat is infinitely greater than that of the present Prime Minister Manmohan Singh .The name Sachin Tendulkar holds greater currency in our nation today than the surname Gandhi. Indeed i bet Tendulkar can beat Sonia Gandhi , Rahul Gandhi ,Modi or Anna Hazare and ofcourse Baba Ramdev all at their home turf .
Unless Sachin has just accepted as just another token of respect from just another organisation which he gracefully does every now and then, i think he should not have taken this position . First he as an active player does not have the time required to raise pertinent issues in the Upper House .Secondly if this is an honor conferred upon him in lieu of Bharat Ratna thenhe definitely deserves better. Actually if this is the case then this is a compromise which Sachin does not need to accept..
If 1930s and 40s had Gandhi to look up to ,our generation definitly grew up looking upto Sachin .
Many lesser mortals whose name we dont even know have received have got the Bharat Ratna and Tendulkar should receive it for sure , if not for his records which are many then just for the impact he has had on the morale of what we call generation X ,generation Y ,or then coming generation Z .
