I was the Adam Gilchrist of the 60s

This was told by Farokh Engineer (Indian cricketer of yesteryears). Don't you feel strange reading it?. Its been more than 50 years since our independence, and we still have that complex. Consider this - Samudragupta of the "Golden age of Gupta empire" was considered to be "The Napoleon of India". Excuse me?. Chronologically speaking, who was first? Coimbatore being the "Manchester of India". And what is that sense of warmth and glow which we feel after comparing?.

Shame!!.

Where is our individuality?
