Shikha UveroiBy: C. Reardon | Friday , 2 Jan '09 23:41:22 PM Reply | Forward The American's don't want people such as Shikha Uveroi playing for us anytime, anyway. Willing to give up her U.S. citizenship.? Tell her to get lost.... India doesn't want her playing for them and neither do we....

We dont want themBy: Venkat | Saturday , 27 Dec '08 7:28:36 AM Reply | Forward We do not want ABCDs representing India. I hope Indian government will make sure that these players don't find loop-holes that will enable them to play for India. It was a mistake to let them play for India in the first place and the government should look into the issue and see if the Amritrajs and the Oberois exerted undue influence to make it happen. As an Indian I want to make it clear that I feel nothing but disgust when I see these Americans representing India. I hope Prakash Amritraj and the Uberoi sisters spend some time thinking about what exactly makes them Indian. I want to ask them if they even know how to sing our National Anthem. Do they know the country's pledge? I hope they have enough self-respect to take this as an opportunity to gracefully go back to their country. Everybody knows that they play for India because they cannot survive the competition in the US. We have had enough of this absurdity. Its about time they left. They dont *represent* us.
