When Manohar Parrikar called all cricketers with “Kar” surname Actually Belong to Goa

Once Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was speaking at the Dilip Sardesai Sports Excellence and called all the Indian cricketers with “kar” surname actually belong to Goa lineage. He took the jibe by calling of ancestors of players like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Dileep Vengsarkar are the natives of Goa, but Portuguese drove them out and the diaspora settled in Maharashtra and other states nearby.

He always encouraged the state sports authorities to extract and nurture young talent, hope his dreams will be given wings by the future government to come. Rest in Peace Manohar Parrikar, a true gentleman, and an inspirational figure to look up to for the generations to come.
