Tendulkar spent his formative years in the Sahitya Sahawas Cooperative Housing Society in [[Bandra|Bandra (East)]]. As a young boy, Tendulkar was considered a [[Bullying|bully]], and he often picked fights with new children in his school.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sports.in.msn.com/cricket/sachincorner/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5132762&page=3 |title=38 special facts about Sachin Tendulkar – 3 |publisher=MSN |date=16 March 2012 |access-date=18 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130606052152/http://sports.in.msn.com/cricket/sachincorner/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5132762&page=3 |archive-date=6 June 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
As a child, Tendulkar was interested in both [[tennis]] and cricket. He particularly idolised American player [[John McEnroe]], and emulated his hero by growing his hair long at the age of 7 or 8 years. At this time, Tendulkar also regularly wore tennis wristbands and headbands and carried a [[tennis racquet]] with him as a sign of his love for tennis.<ref name="jansatta.com">{{cite web|title='कांबली बहुत गुस्सैल है,' सचिन ने KBC में अमिताभ को सुनाई थी दोस्त की कहानी; देखें Video|url=https://www.jansatta.com/khel/sachin-tendulkar-comments-about-vinod-kambli-on-kbc-that-surprised-amitabh-bachchan-throwback-story-watch-video/1825379/|access-date=24 December 2021|website=Jansatta|date=16 September 2021 |language=hi}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://sports.in.msn.com/cricket/sachincorner/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5132762&page=2 |title=38 special facts about Sachin Tendulkar – 2 |publisher=MSN |date=16 March 2012 |access-date=18 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130606051853/http://sports.in.msn.com/cricket/sachincorner/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5132762&page=2 |archive-date=6 June 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Throwback to Sachin Tendulkar's Comments About Vinod Kambli on KBC That Surprised Amitabh Bachchan|url=https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/throwback-to-sachin-tendulkars-comments-about-vinod-kambli-on-kbc-that-surprised-amitabh-bachchan-4207604.html|access-date=24 December 2021|website=www.news18.com|language=en}}</ref><br />

To help curb his bullying tendencies, his elder brother Ajit introduced Tendulkar to cricket in 1984. Ajit introduced him to cricket coach [[Ramakant Achrekar]] at [[Shivaji Park]] in Dadar. At their first meeting, Tendulkar did not play well. Ajit told Achrekar that he was feeling self-conscious due to the coach observing him, and was not displaying his natural game. Ajit requested the coach to give him another chance at playing, but watch while hiding behind a tree. This time, Tendulkar, apparently unobserved, played much better and was accepted at Achrekar's academy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.in.com/sports/cricket/reminiscing-old-days-sachin-tendulkar-on-late-coach-ramakant-achrekar-278431.htm|title=Reminiscing old days: Sachin Tendulkar on late coach Ramakant Achrekar|website=in.com}}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>{{Better source needed example|reason=Dead link|date=November 2021}} <br />

In 2008 India's tour of Australia, at a Sydney Test match, Australian [[Andrew Symonds]] accused Indian [[Harbhajan Singh]] of using racist terminology by calling him a monkey. This matter was dubbed "[[Indian cricket team in Australia in 2007–08#Controversies|Monkeygate]]" by the media.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/news/forget-about-monkeygate-harbhajan-singh-to-aussies/amp_articleshow/67121856.cms |title=Forget about 'Monkeygate': Harbhajan Singh to Aussies {{pipe}} Cricket News – Times of India |publisher=M.timesofindia.com |date=17 December 2018 |accessdate=10 January 2022}}</ref> Singh was suspended by the match ICC referee after hearing. Sachin Tendulkar was standing on non-striker's end, at that moment, when Symonds claimed racist comments happened. In the hearing, Tendulkar said to the ICC match referee [[Mike Procter]], that he could not say what exactly Singh said to Symonds, but in the next hearing, Tendulkar changed his stance and said that Symonds had not said "monkey" but "''Teri Maa Ki...''" ('Your mother's...'). In his autobiography ''[[Playing It My Way]]'', Tendulkar wrote, "''Teri Maa Ki...'', It is an expression we often use in [[Hindi Belt|North India]] to vent our anger and to me it all part of the game".{{Full citation needed|date=March 2023}} The matter became big in following days and nearly led to the cancellation of this tour.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|title=Sachin Tendulkar claims "Monkeygate" hearing was unfair; slams Adam Gilchrist for lack of sportsmanship|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/sports/report-sachin-tendulkar-claims-monkeygate-hearing-was-unfair-slams-adam-gilchrist-for-lack-of-sportsmanship-2032688|access-date=26 December 2021|website=DNA India|language=en}}</ref> Referee suspended Singh for 3 Test but after appeal and Tendulkar's statement in hearing the suspension was overturned.

Symonds said in the documentary, "We go to a very wealthy man's place for a barbecue, drinks, and dinner one night, and the whole team's there, and he had guests there, and Harbhajan said 'mate, can I speak to you for a minute out in the garden out the front?'

<br />
[[Sir Donald Bradman]], considered by many as the greatest batsman of all time, considered Tendulkar to have a batting style similar to his. In his biography, it is stated that "Bradman was most taken by Tendulkar's technique, compactness and shot production, and had asked his wife to have a look at Tendulkar, having felt that Tendulkar played like him.

[[File:Master Blaster at work.jpg|thumb|left|Tendulkar at the crease, getting ready to face a delivery]]<br />
Former Australian cricket team coach [[John Buchanan (cricketer, born 1953)|John Buchanan]] voiced his opinion that Tendulkar had become susceptible to the short ball early in his innings because of a lack of footwork.<ref name="Sachinweakness">{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Nov292007/sports2007112938408.asp|title=Buchanan spots Sachin's weakness!|work=[[Deccan Herald]] |location=India|access-date=14 December 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071202033513/http://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Nov292007/sports2007112938408.asp <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2 December 2007}}</ref> Buchanan also believes Tendulkar has a weakness while playing left-arm pace.<ref name="Sachinweakness" /> He was affected by a series of injuries since 2004. Since then Tendulkar's batting has tended to be less attacking. Explaining this change in his batting style, he has acknowledged that he is batting differently because, firstly, no batsman can bat the same way for the entire length of a long career and, secondly, he is a senior member of the team now and thus has more responsibility. During the early part of his career, he was a more attacking batsman and frequently scored centuries at close to a run a ball. [[Ian Chappell]], former Australian player, remarked in 2007 that "Tendulkar now, is nothing like the player he was when he was a young bloke".<ref name="Futuresuperstars" /><br />
<br />
Tendulkar has incorporated several modern and unorthodox strokes into his repertoire, including the paddle sweep, the scoop over short fine leg and the slash to third man over the slips' heads, especially in his later years. He is often praised for his ability to adapt to the needs of his body and yet keep scoring consistently.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sachin incorporates several Unorthodox shots |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/sachinretirement/my-heart-feels-it-s-time-sachin-tendulkar-on-his-retirement/article1-1133449.aspx |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |access-date=22 December 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217231841/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/sachinretirement/my-heart-feels-it-s-time-sachin-tendulkar-on-his-retirement/article1-1133449.aspx |archive-date=17 December 2013 }}</ref><br />

== Expo 2022 ==<br />
In 2019, Sangha and Upkar Tatlay delivered a presentation to [[Surrey City Council]] to bring a World Exposition to Surrey to celebrate the diverse cultures and heritage of the city. The Expo would have a focus on South Asian culture since Surrey has one of the largest South Asian diaspora communities outside of South Asia. Over twenty letters of support from stakeholders was provided to endorse the Expo including from [[Simon Fraser University]] and [[Vancity]]. Mayor Doug McCallum stated that the Expo “shows a lot of promise” and City Council directed staff to prepare an initial report on the proposal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/bringing-south-asia-and-the-entire-world-to-surrey|title=Bringing South Asia and the entire world to Surrey|publisher=Vancouver Sun|first=Cheryl|last=Chan|date=2019-09-17|language=en|access-date=2020-01-19}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.surreynowleader.com/news/international-south-asian-expo-pitched-for-surreys-bear-creek-park/|title=International South Asian expo pitched for Surrey's Bear Creek Park|date=2019-09-16|website=Surrey Now-Leader|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-19}}</ref><br />

==Legend==<br />
As per Hindu legend, the ''[[Vaishnava]]'' deity, Sundararaja, an incarnation of [[Hindu]] god [[Vishnu]], appeared for Bhrigu Rishi, who performed penance in the bank of <br />
Thirumanimuthar.<ref name="dinamalar">{{cite web|title=Sri Azhagirinathar temple|url=https://temple.dinamalar.com/en/New_en.php?id=450|publisher=Dinamalar|accessdate=9 April 2017}}</ref> The sage did not get the attention of Vishnu and in his anger, he kicked Vishnu on his chest. Mahalakshmi who resides in Vishnu's chest got angered as Vishnu did not show his anger towards the sage. She left Vaikunta and reached earth and took the form of Padmavathy. Vishnu followed her and married her. Padmavathy got her memories and was still angry with Vishnu. The sage Bhrigu sought his apology and requested Mahalakshmi to be born to him as ''Sundaravalli'' in his next birth. The sage was born as Bhrigu rishi again and performed penance to attain Mahalakshmi as his daughter.<ref name="dinamalar"/> Vishnu was pleased by the penance and he wished the sage to get Lakshmi as his daughter.One day, he found a girl under a Tulasi plant in a garden in his ''Ashramam'' and was so beautiful thus named her '''Sundaravalli''' Which means ''the Beautiful girl''. Vishnu descended to earth as '''Sundararajan'''. He convinced Lakshmi to marry him and the couple eventually got married.<ref name="templesinindiainfo">{{cite web|title=Salem Alagirinathar Temple Timings, History|url=https://templesinindiainfo.com/salem-alagirinathar-temple-timings-history/|publisher=templesinindiainfo|accessdate=9 April 2017}}</ref><br />

During the last step of worship, ''[[nagaswaram]]'' (pipe instrument) and ''[[tavil]]'' (percussion instrument) are played, religious instructions in the ''[[Vedas]]'' (sacred text) are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the [[Iconography of Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu#Dvajasthamba and Pali Peedam|temple mast]].

{{Politics of American Samoa}}<br />
The '''American Samoa Senate''' is the [[upper house]] of the [[American Samoa Fono]]. The Senate, like the [[lower house|lower]] [[American Samoa House of Representatives|House of Representatives]], is a [[Non-partisan democracy|nonpartisan]] body. It is composed of 18 senators, serving a four-year term.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[American Samoa]] became a [[United States]] territory in 1900 and was initially administered by the [[United States Navy|Navy]]. From 1905, annual meetings were held with delegates sent from the local communities, as an advisory council to the [[List of governors of American Samoa|naval governor]].<ref name=naval>[https://books.google.com/books?id=rpNQAQAAMAAJ Historical Sketch of the Naval Administration of the Government of American Samoa], Capt. T. F. Darden, 1952.</ref><ref name=history>[https://amsamoa.net/politics/history-of-the-fono.html History of the Fono], AmSamoa.net.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1948, a bicameral legislature was established, still in advisory capacity. The upper house, named the House of [[Ali‘i]], was composed of 12 members, being the seven high chiefs of [[Tutuila]] and the five high chiefs of [[Manu'a|Manu‘a]].<ref name=naval/><ref name=history/><ref name=yb1953>[https://books.google.com/books?id=edbMDQAAQBAJ The Statesman's Year-Book: Statistical and Historical Annual of the States of the World for the Year 1953], S. H. Steinberg.</ref><ref name=elite>[https://books.google.com/books?id=z0OsAAAAIAAJ Elite Communication in Samoa: A Study of Leadership], Felix M. Keesing and Marie M. Keesing, 1956.</ref> This legislature was reformed in 1952, after administration of American Samoa had been transferred to the [[United States Department of the Interior|Department of the Interior]]. Members of the House of Ali‘i became advisors to the governor, while a new upper house, named the Senate, was established. There were 15 senators, five from each of the three [[Administrative divisions of American Samoa|districts of American Samoa]] ([[Western District, American Samoa|Western]], [[Eastern District, American Samoa|Eastern]] and [[Manu'a District, American Samoa|Manu‘a]]). Senators were elected in open meetings, according to [[fa'asamoa|Samoan custom]], and had to be holders of a [[fa'amatai|matai]] title.<ref name=history/><ref name=yb1954>[https://books.google.com/books?id=y6TPDQAAQBAJ The Statesman's Year-Book: Statistical and Historical Annual of the States of the World for the Year 1954], S. H. Steinberg.</ref><ref name=elite/><br />
<br />
In 1960, the first constitution of American Samoa was adopted. The Senate became composed of 15 members: one from each of the then 14 counties, elected for four-year terms, and an additional senator rotating from the then four counties of the Western District, elected for two-year terms.<ref name=history/><ref>[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044082395062 Constitution of American Samoa], 1960.</ref> In 1967, the revised constitution modified the Senate to 18 members, all elected for four-year terms: two from the combined counties of [[Ta‘ū]] island; one from the combined counties of [[Ofu-Olosega]]; three from [[Maoputasi County|Ma‘oputasi]] county; two each from [[Sua County|Sua]], [[Ituau County|Itu‘au]] and [[Tualauta County|Tualauta]] counties; and one from each of the six remaining counties. Under both constitutions, senators are elected according to Samoan custom by the county councils and must be holders of a matai title.<ref name=history/><ref>[https://new.asbar.org/revised-constitution-of-american-samoa Revised Constitution of American Samoa], American Samoa Bar Association.</ref><br />

'''Nayakas of [[Chitradurga]]''' (1588–1779 CE) ruled parts of eastern [[Karnataka]] during the post-Vijayanagara period. During the rule of [[Hoysala Empire]] and [[Vijayanagara Empire]], they served as a feudatory chiefdom. Later after the fall of the Vijayanagara empire, they ruled at times as an independent Chiefdom and at other times as a vassal of the [[Mysore Kingdom]], [[Mughal Empire]] and [[Maratha Empire]]. Finally their territories merged into the province of Mysore under the British.<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
According to historian Barry Lewis, the earliest chieftains of the kingdom were local chiefs (''Dandanayakas'') of the [[Ramoshi|Bedar]] caste under the [[Hoysala empire]], during their rule over what is today Karnataka. They later won the attention and appreciation of the [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagar]] kings through their acts of bravery and were appointed as governors of the region.<ref>{{Cite web|title=An Informal History of the Chitradurga Nayakas|url=https://barry-lewis.com/research/chitradurga/|access-date=2022-02-12|website=Barry Lewis|language=en-US}}</ref> According to historian [[Suryanath Kamath]], the Chitradurga chiefs under the Vijayanagara empire were originally from the [[Davangere district]] in Karnataka.<ref name="historians1">According to Suryanath Kamat, Timmappa Nayaka the founder of the kingdom was from [[Davangere]] in Karnataka</ref> Some Marathi records call them ''Kala Pyada'' in admiration for their fighting qualities.<br />
<br />
The [[Chitradurga Fort]] was their stronghold and the very heart of the province.<br />
<br />
==The Nayaka clan==<br />
<br />
'''Timmanna Nayaka''' (1568–1589) of Matti: A chieftain from Matti in [[Davangere]] taluk during the rule of Saluva Narasimha.<br />
He ruled areas covering [[Davangere district]] and [[Chitradurga district]].<br />
<br />
'''Obanna Nayaka I''' (1588–1602) is also known as '''Madakari Nayaka I'''.<br />
<br />
'''Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka I''' (1602–1652) In 1602, Obanna Nayaka was succeeded by his son Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka. He was a brave soldier who defeated sultan's of Bijapur. His reign was full of conflicts with neighbouring chiefs. Several battles were fought with the ''Paleyagar'' (chief) of Basavapattana over territories such as Mayakonda, Santebennur, Holalkere, Anaji, and Jagalur, all of which ultimately became part of the Chitradurga territory. At the time of his death in 1652, the kingdoms possessions yielded a revenue of 65,000 ''Durgi'' [[Pagoda_(coin)|Pagodas]].<br />
<br />
'''Madakari Nayaka II''' (1652–1674) Rangappa Nayaka was succeeded by his son Madakari Nayaka II in 1652 who is credited with a number of military successes, particularly in the regions east of Chitradurga. He killed Shah Adib Allah in 1671 in a battle at Chitradurga.<br />
<br />
'''Obanna Nayaka II''' (1674–1675) His rule saw civil unrest. He was killed by his own men.<br />
<br />
'''Shoora Kantha Nayaka''' (1675–1676) His rule saw civil unrest. He was killed by his own men.<br />
<br />
'''Chikkanna Nayaka''' (1676–1686)<br />
<br />
'''Madakari Nayaka III''' (1686–1688)<br />
<br />
'''Donne Rangappa Nayaka''' (1688–1689)<br />
<br />
'''Bharamanna Nayaka''' of Bilichodu (1689–1721) known as the last of the great Nayakas of Chitradurga, he became a Maratha ally and fought in the battle of [[Dodderi]] in 1695 but had to pay tribute later to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] for supporting the Marathas. He fought many pitched battles against the Mughals, and is credited for building many temples including the [[Ranganathaswamy Temple, Nirthadi|Ranganatha Swamy]] at Niratadi, and irrigation tanks. He was also known as "Bichchugatti Bahramanna Nayaka"<br />
<br />
'''Madakari Nayaka IV''' (1721–1748) was a Maratha feudatory. He was killed during continued hostilities against the Nayakas of Davangere.<br />
<br />
'''Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka II''' (1748–1758), son of Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka II, retook Mayakonda territory. He achieved this with the help of the Maratha Sardar Murari Rao and the Subedar of Advani. Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka is said to have made various expeditions to the north and south, and in the latter direction gained some possessions in the Budihal region. He is also said to have maintained close ties with the Subedar of Sira. He died in 1754 without an heir. Madakeri Nayaka the last, son of one Bharamappa Nayaka of Janakal-Durga, became his successor.<br />
<br />
'''[[Madakari Nayaka]]''' (1758–1779) was a brave soldier and a shrewd administrator as well (also called as '''Madakari Nayaka V'''). He allied himself with Haider Ali of the [[Mysore Kingdom]] at times and at other times with the [[Maratha_Empire|Marathas]]. It was during his time that Haider Ali attacked the [[Chitradurga Fort]] leading to the heroics of "[[Onake Obavva]]". Later having been betrayed by the Marathas and some local officers, Madakari Nayaka was defeated by Hyder Ali, taken prisoner and killed. The Chitradurga Nayakas form an integral part of Kannada folklore.<br />
