Gary, Indian team, and Indian cows

Here is nice piece by Ankita Pandey in DNA newspaper where she talks about the weird ideas of Gary Kristen about India nearly eleven years back and says life is indeed strange that the same man will be coaching the Indian team. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1135920
But the problem is, shall we crucify a man just because he had some views about the subcontinent which even India fans like Geoff Boycott and Botham have. Probably at that time, his thinking was as much flawed as that of any other foreigner on his first visit.
Still, it will be interesting to know what Gary thinks of India today. The reproduction of his comments after more than a decade will also make him aware of what to expect from his Indian safari.
