DON or LITTLE MASTER ??

Amitabh Bachan, the Bollywood superstar has expressed his anger over the media groups who have compared the Indian legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar with Sir Don Bradman.

Expressing his delight on Sachin's 50th Test century, Amitabh said that for him, Sachin was a greater batsman than the Australian legend. The star actor wrote on his blog, “Why must there be a debate or even a discussion on whether Sachin is greater than Don Bradman or not? Sachin is greater, period! By bringing the topic for debate you are somewhere unsure whether he really is deserving of being great or not. And this is objectionable to me.”

Amitabh added, “How much more does one have to do to prove one’s credentials? And who are the media to concur who is great or not? We know he is. Matter over.”

Addressing the media groups, the Bollywood star requested them to not undermine the stature of the all time great legendry batsman by comparing him with others, instead, he insisted upon letting others to compare themselves to the Indian star.

Amitabh objected to the approach of his countrymen to compare themselves to the West as according to him, despite being richer, secure and advanced; West was still not superior to them by any means. The belief that best was always produced there and not in India was not justifiable to him.

Amitabh Bachchan also showed his concern over the media asking him about his ventures to Hollywood. To him, it was high time that India start taking pride in its own talent. He also lashed out at the approach of assuming that Hollywood was superior to Indian film industry and Oscars was superior to any of the award given by Indian industry. Despite being considerably advanced, West did not make the final destination for him.

Rather thought provokingly, he further wrote that when would Indians start taking pride in their own heroes without comparing them to others. Provided that self appreciating approach was developed, he stated, others will start looking towards India to develop their standards.
