I wholeheartedly endorse the views expressed by Mr Jayant Tanna ( AV 20-26 July 19) in reply to comments by Lord Popat regarding supporting India (AV 15-19 July 19). I feel that we all should enjoy sports without involving any politics.
My grand children ( born in UK) did support and appreciate performance by all participating teams in the current tournament but somehow their priority went to India irrespective of their performance.
May be effect of IPL, culture or just in their blood? Lord Popat should also read a wonderful article written by our respected Shri CB Patel ( AV 15-19 July 19 page 8) high lighting how much the UK has provided to immigrants and how much the immigrants have provided to the British and at what cost?
I strongly feel that taking a foreign citizenship doesnot make one any less of an Indian. Finally let us hope this lucky win for England now make cricket as popular as football thus encouraging all age group of citizens to participate and strongly support England team ( like they did in final match) to prosper in all future competitions.
