Sitting with Sania Mirza

Sania Mirza sitting with the Prime Minister. Long before she met Namo, they chatted on twitter. PM invited her to his office. 

In fact, I take you a week back when Modi congratulated her after winning US mix doubles. Top players meet the PM after winning major tournaments.
People would ask, what is so great about it. 

But I feel there is much more to it than what actually appears. If one remembers correctly, Sania Mirza was object of scorn after she was made brand ambassador of newly carved Telangana state. Those who were opposing this move vociferously were also from BJP and other right wing organisations.Do u think, Modi failed them after meeting Sania Mirza, who is married to a Pakistani cricketer. Modi didn’t criticise his them but he gave very subtle message that what they were doing was not fair. And this will not go on. This will not go a long way. I found Modi's action was a repeat of what Atal Behari Vajpayee used to do on regular intervals by sending stern and subtle messages time and again.

For ruling India, which is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country, one needs to understand the very fabric of India. Modi has a long way to go. Understanding India's Ganga-jamuni tahzeeb is always a tough business.
