Is its uncanny that most people supporting Bhupati are the ones from the south of Vindyas? Why is it that only bongs are ridiculed for their support for their icon Sourav??

Its not like people from south supports bhupathi and ridicule ganguly .. i am from south ...i support ganguly .. for Bhupathi , i feel success has gone to his head .. he is now well known name is ATP circles ..for that he should be thanking leander ... Its becoz Leander chose him as Doubles partner from no where ... Leander would have got any other accomplished partner .. but he chose Bhupathi becoz he wanted a true indian partnership .. Bhupathi learned the tricks of doubles playing with paes ... now he dont need paes ..now he can get other accomplished partners ..so he is attacking paes ... He made a clown of himself by complaining when paes and sania was paired was asian games .. How far he has gone to think that he ia far better player than paes to pair sania ... i felt like he is possessive about sania ..he behaved like Sania is his personal property ...come on man .. Leander and Sania makes a great mixed doubles pair .. We love then together ... U can never reach the heights Leander has reached playing for India ... U cannot displace him from our hearts ... Bhupathi sir ,Please come back to earth ..now a days u r flying little too high ..

ya ur correct but u dont have the right to talk abt INDIA go to hell all stupid aus "b" okay dr
AITA needs to snub both coach Nandan Bal and Paes for making deregatory remarks on hesh questioning the sincerity. If paes is very patriotic in now way less respects the indian flag and such remarks with the coach only demoralises somebody who also is equally given kudos to indian team. Paes could not have won so many grand slams without hesh which should not be forgotten.
Moreover Sania got the standing soley due hesh's efforts and paes taking her as partner without hesh knowing is not done. Even Sania is to be blamed for not informing about the intentions of AITA to hesh.
hesh is as important as leander and as such both should be seen at par which will only lead hesh come back to the indian team
as far as their form in intr.level is concerned bhupathi looks little out of touch as his ranking has dropped to 22 in doubles ...but what is to be taken into account right now there is no prpoer replacement for both of these palyers in india nad thus by default they should play together where india's representation is concerned..there is always feeling of oneupmanship in both of them but due to petty politics in the tennis federation of favouring paes and blaming bhupathi alone is shameful i must say as rohan bopanna refused to play with leander was obvious refkection of that as an outburst.
One cannot just follow the logic. One would have thought that sports persons being the special breed that they are, would have placed country before self always, irrespective of any other considerations. If any slight was perceived, this could have been sorted out with the offending persons, as adults would be expected to. But to openly say that hevwould not play for the country again, or that he would reconsider the decision, and changing his position time and again, does not really reflect the qualities of a dedicated sportsman. All said and done, Mahesh is a great player, and has a special place in our hearts. Time to sort out petty matters with a gracious heart, as the whole nation expects Mahesh Bhupathi has it in him to bring more laurels to the country. Cheer up Sir, and lead the youngsters by example, not just on the tennis court. We want you to play for India. We will root for you ever!
Mahesh made India proud on many instances. But, did India give him the respect which he richly deserves? Let Mahesh take his own decision and leave him alone. Don't try to find faults in him.
