How come fundamentalists Indian nationalists who sued her and the judges who agreed to proceed with the case?
Sania, every sports loving Indian is proud of you and I reproduce the extracts from American President Abraham Lincon's letter to his son's teacher, hope you will understand what i want to say:"Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon... Teach him to listen to all men... but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good that comes through. Teach him if you can, how to laugh when he is sad... Teach him there is no shame in tears, Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness... Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders but never to put a price-tag on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right. Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient... let him have the patience to be brave." The world never liked brave persons. I will advise you to read the life and history of Abraham Lincon and those who have read how the people make every effort to let down brave and good people. JAI HIND

Also blame the Hindu fundamentalists and the narrow minded Indian nationalists who sued her for flag disrespect (as if our great nations can be insulted if someone points their feet at it.)
This is a slap on the face of our legal system and the government machinery. A nation of a billion people cannot come up with a medal on the international stage; now we have gone one step higher by racking controversies and kill careers of budding sporting talents like Sania Mirza. What a shame.

If she goes to Karachi where you will be heading to? Do you know your roots? You will be nowhere in noland moron!
Dear Sania, you took a wise decision. Our people will never appreciate anything other than cricket. For example, look at V Anand or Baichung Butia . In cricket also, they do not want the game, they want only cricketers. Each region sponers the crickers belonging to their region. They do not like players from other zones.

You are incorrect. Chess is not a TV sport like Cricket or tennis. Anand inspired an entire generation of chess players. See how many GMs India has produced after his coronation in 1984. Yes, we are not chess crazy as Russia. But we do respect them. Indian football does not have TV patronage as Indian cricket. This will change if more money is spent by TV folks. Indians have consistently supported tennis. Look at the 15 grand slams India have won in the dobles/mixed doubles category. No other asian country comes even close. Except for PT Usha and Shiny Wilson(Abraham) and the 4x400m womens relay team, nobody has done anything worthwhile in athletics. So, no respect for them.
Highlight the comments made on her game by others. Trash out the useless comments coming from zealots and self styled nationalists. It is indeed appalling. When cricketers from all faiths play for India, their on field exploits alone are being analyzed. However, for Sania her dress code, her respect for the national flag and everything is analyzed at the atomic level. Is it because they have never seen a muslim woman representing India for any game? Leave her alone. She deserves to live a good life.
I think, it's a perfect decision to back down from all Indian tournaments. It's always unpleasent things happening in Indian sports field. I think, Sania should move out of country and settle overseas by just focusing on her game and not Indian religious boggers and politics. She will do much better in out of India. Good Luck Sania.
