Over the years, Sachin Tendulkar has done great service to the nation. He has thrilled us with his legendary cricket exploits and has been a source of inspiration for millions around the world. In the first test against New Zealand at Seddon Park, Sachin once again displayed his awesome talent.
His 160 run innings will be remembered for a long time to come. He has made it all the more special by dedicating the innings to the cause of Tiger conservation. This would definitely be a big boost for the efforts to save the big cat. Sachin’s gesture would bring much needed attention and focus to the necessity to protect India’s national animal. Just like me, millions around the world would be gently, but effectively reminded about the fast dwindling count of the Tigers in this country.
Just yesterday, I posted some thoughts on the political scene in the nation. Sachin’s gesture made me wonder whether any of our political parties or leaders has any action plan on issues such as climate change, the Tiger conservation, ground water conservation, forest conservation etc. I would be surprised if they do come up with any answers. India as a nation and we the people are yet to take these issues seriously.
