On no further occasion present a flag or medal to an Indian.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was in high school when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled India's flag in New Delhi.
The Indian is a human being.
I do not want my name to be presented to the public as an Indian, but as a pitcher.
Cricket pays well, so a lot of people are naturally drawn towards the game. But to carve a niche in non-cricket sports is not easy. So state governments need to be proactive. Indians need to be made aware of the power of an Olympic medal. It should be treated at par with an Oscars or a Nobel Prize.
In spite of all temptations of belonging to many nations, I've remained an Indian.
I know who I am and can deal with the use of Indian mascots... But I know it can be demeaning to a group of people. Maybe it would be all right if they were truly honoring the people and are giving due respect to the people they are representing.
When an Indian meets a terrorist, we condemn this.
Every nation has a flag.
I have always wanted an Olympic medal. I always wanted to see India's national flag going up at the podium.
One of the thrills of playing at the top tennis centres of the world is to see the Indian flag go up whenever I'm participating in these events. That's enough motivation for any Indian who has the opportunity to perform at these tournaments.
