May be some of our friends are right Leander might have ego problem. But what Leander Paes done for the country is remarkable. What we have seen from Leander that, when country's prestige is at stake he pumps up and even beaten top 10 players . Look at his Bronze medal winning performance at Atlanta Olympics or Davis Cup Semi-Final Victory over France in Red Clay court at Paris in which he beat Henri Leconte he is World No.5 at that time or victory over Goran Ivanisek in a Davis Cup match. All these victories are came only when he plays Davis Cup matches. He never took serious interest on his professional carries. This shows his Desh Bhakti. But in Bhupathi's case he came to India from US because there are far better players in US than Bhupathi. And he instigated players revolt against Leander and Bhupathi is responsible for Sania Mirza's withdrawal from Sunfeast Open in Banglore. This Bhupathi could not think that with his anymosity towards Leander he was taking prestige of the country for granted.
So overall Bhupathi had done more harm to country than so called Egoist Paes. It is better that Bhupathi should be sent back to US where he actually belongs, we dont want him in India.
Look at this...so we Indians are always divided unless we stop ridiculing fellow Indians based on language,dress,food,local culture etc Sports like Tennis no team work.Imagine Cricket,no wonder we were never consistent bcoz of differences..Are we Indians or Europeans.Look at Rajasthan Royals in IPL one white man Warne able to control..So looks like British have to come back to power to keep us together & also get rid of Terrorists...Ha Ha
