April 24th as Indian National Holiday!

Add April 24th as an Indian National Holiday to honour Sachin Tendulkar, a person who unifies a culturally-diverse country. Honour over two decades of sweat, dedication and perserverance. How many individuals can cause an entire country to remember being an Indian first? If a mayor in Florida can honour a pop band's personal accomplishment and declare a day in their name, how easy should it be for a leader of the largest democracy (culturally-diverse and religiously-sensitive) to use this as a trump card and declare April 24th as a national holiday in honour of a person whose every accomplishment is for India first? Can we think of any Indian throughout history and present, who creates this kind of pride of being Indian?
