National spirit eludes Mr India event

Bano Haralu

Friday, February 3, 2006 (Guwahati):

Bijit Gogoi from Assam was in for a rude shock after he won the National Body Building Championship Mr India title in Mumbai on Sunday.

As soon as the results were declared, Shiv Sena members who were supporting the competition runner-up Sham Rahate started vandalising the venue.

They protested the results, saying Gogoi should not be declared the winner as he was an "outsider".

"The supporters began vandalising the green room, saying I was from the north east and hence not an Indian. I ran into the audience and sought protection," Gogoi said.

Rahate has now said he will not lay claim to the title, but angry officials of the Indian Body Building Federation say this is not enough.

The Federation has demanded an apology to Gogoi and may even recommend a ban on Rahate.

Meanwhile, Gogoi is back in his home state, and in the true spirit of a national champion, says he has put the experience behind him.

Shame shame shame

pradip kumar datta

what has this got to do with saregamapa?

This incident also shows that how people thinks about assam or north east.

People like debojit and bijit gogoi are very much part of india.

i dont think anyone has ever said they dislike debojit because he is from assam!!

Whatever is the reality of these reality show I do not know. But it is 1000% true, these reality shows are showing the reality of India. Actually we are completely divided, there are atleast 100 small India in a big India. It is shame. Unfortunately it happend with Assam again.

people r not divided... zee is creating all this division by announcing zonal results... they sud have at the first place just given only totality results...

IS MUMBAIKAR OR NORTH INDIANS THINK THEMSELVES THAT INDIA CONSISTS OF ONLY MUMBAI, U.P., BIHAR ??

SHAME ON ADESH & HIMESH FOR PROMOTING THIS DIVISION!!

Do you think Shiv-Sena represents even Mumbai only, and why doesn't Congress/NCP govt do something about SS goons....

i anyways hate debo..........(it does not make a difference)

hemu was better than him
and vinit is the best
