kosingh Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 What could he do? wealth wise he's very rich but certainly not in the league of big business people. So how could he use his fame and wealth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from photo ops, " tweet supports ", and attending ceremonies, he has hardly done anything of substance for any social cause in India or for needy talented sportsmen. The kind of goodwill that he has had, he could easily raise huge money for various social causes - that too he has not done - like say Ian Botham or Imran Khan. Always thought giving him a Bharat Ratna for playing cricket was a terrible choice ( there are many people who deserved it even less ). But he certainly did not deserve it. How on earth do musicians deserve Bharat Ratna then? What do they do "outside" their line? Kuch bhi random spouting as usual BTW a simple google search can show all the charity things he has done way before he retired Regular cancer crusade supporter who raises crores for the cause, Sponsors 200 under privileged children completely, Regularly helps eye donation camps in India, is on the board of directors of one of the biggest charity institutes in India and regularly contributes to it. Sachin Tendulkar is UNICEF's first brand ambassador for South Asia and is all set to work in promoting hygiene and sanitation in the region. Tendulkar was also earlier part of the UNICEF campaigns for polio and global hand washing. Only this year a school in WB which was completely out of funds wrote to Sachin and got 76 lakhs from him http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/school-in-west-bengal-village-writes-to-tendulkar-gets-funds-for-new-facilities/story-rPpgIIS5KtgwmwxVqjMk6O.html When Marthawda was drought affected he helped http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/sachin-tendulkar-marathwada-help-charity-records/ 25 lakh donation to a tribal Buddhist community https://eclecticnortheast.in/sachin-tendulkars-donation-to-buddhist-community-in-karbi-anglong/ Helped an injured cricketer who couldn't afford his operation http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/Sachin+pays+for+treatment+of+injured+team-mate/1/97935.html Unlike his cricket exploits he doesn't want to publicize his charity works like Imran does so all the reports are in small local newspapers. When Imran does a charity work it becomes front page news. Sachin deliberately keeps his charity work out of media and what I have mentioned is not even 10% of what he regularly does because these were things which were leaked despite sachin not wanting it to be out Edited December 4, 2016 by New guy Laaloo, maniac and Screopho 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that most times Sachin's name is told nowadays its to troll or hate, then his fan reply, why are you surprised? And to me, being a bhakt is a million times better than being a jealous hater who spends most of their time demeaning someone because he is popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go around calling people foolish for liking someone who has that stature in the country for a reason. And then you say dont take it personally? How are blind bhakts worse than haters like you?

Laaloo Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) This thread is very poor. His life is not even half over yet. It's understandable for someone who literally spent his teenage years and all those years away from his family literally being devoted to cricket. 21 freaking years. He has every right to step away from the game and enjoy his life. Pathetic Edited December 4, 2016 by laaloo BeautifulGame and Mariyam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has served Indian cricket. And its not his fans who have elevated him to godly (pun unintended) heights. He didn't get the Bharat Ratna because of his fans. Neither did he get the Padmashree and the Padmabhushan because of his fans. Nor did he get the infinite Man of the Match awards because of his fans. Way to misappropriate blame.

randomGuy Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 ^no one here is jealous my dear brother. But the thing is that his fans (read many of his fans) were lame and repulsive and continue to be so. No hard feelings towards you or anyone. Cheers.

MechEng Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 17 hours ago, randomGuy said: Indians don't have that much wealth... Besides being leaders in tech and other things, besides being a liberal society, what gives usa the wealth and attractiveness is that oil is traded in USD. USD is expensive compared to other currencies. they attract the best talent and are richer due to this.... So difference between philanthropy between India n usa is due to above reason, not nearly as much due to the culture as u seem 2 suggest. Also, if u look in Syria. US govt. got 300k+ Syrians murdered by working against a secular n liberal assad....so they don't have morals in their foreign policy. Edit: no need to be sorry...not offended,i can respect different povs.:) All philanthropic activities have some degree of business interests.
