The Indian Langadi team has first won the Asian Cup under the captainship of Deva Sitham, a software Engineer with TCS and hails from Ramanathapuram. He was recently invited to receive the Dalit Acheiver award in SRM University. Self professed Dalit leader Thol.Thirmumavalavan was in the chair. Before accepting the award Deva Sitham burst forth: “I have never identified myself with caste. I would accept this award if given as token of appreciation for my Indian team captaincy or as a young acheiver. I am first an Indian, a farmer and a Tamilan. A farmer from Marudham segment of land devoted to agriculture. It is no way inferior in caste hierarchy . So please change the award tag as “young Indian Acheiver” and I shall accept it. I respect Thol.Thirumavalavan but would definitely accept the award if the tag changes”. The committee then reworded the award as “Indian team capitancy award” and it was accepted by Deva Sitham. Jai ho Captain, for putting all and sundry wiser with your words: “an achiever rises above casteism and sectarianism.
