Here is what Gandhi had to say to the British people when an invasion from Nazi Germany looked imminent:
"I would like you to lay down the arms you have as being useless for saving you or humanity. You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions...If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes, you will vacate them. If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourselves, man, woman, and child, to be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them."
Yeah right!

Tournament not recognized by ICC or BCCI
BCCI issues Twenty20 warning

Twenty20 cricket has yet to be fully embraced in India © Getty Images
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has threatened its contracted players with disciplinary action if they take part in the National Twenty20 competition currently being held in the country. Dismissed by Niranjan Shah, the BCCI secretary, as a "tennis ball cricket tournament", the championship was rumoured to have a number of Ranji Trophy cricketers set to take part.
Neither the BCCI nor the International Cricket Council (ICC) has chosen to recognise the national championship, which began on Monday. The BCCI have never hidden their scepticism over the 20-over format of the game and only reluctantly agreed to send the national team to the inaugural Twenty20 World Championship in South Africa next year.
"All first-class cricketers have a contract with the BCCI which has a clause that states to take part in any tournament or matches that are not recognised by the BCCI, they will need to have the board's permission," MP Pandove, joint honorary secretary of the BCCI and Punjab Cricket Association, told the Times of India. "District level players and umpires also too need prior permission from their respective associations. Anyone can organise a cricket tournament these days, but who cares for such events. This tournament is not recognised by the BCCI or ICC, and they cannot claim it to be a national event."
However, Piyush Rana, the Twenty20 Cricket Federation secretary general, insisted that the tournament was very much a valid one. He clarified that there was no ill-motive involved in the event: "We have also registered our trademark, logo, copyrights, intellectual property rights in accordance with international patent law and hence we are the real body to conduct the tournaments."

The Indian Twenty 20 Cricket Federation (ITCF-INDIA) is the apex governing body for Twenty 20 Cricket in India, headquartered at Patiala (Punjab.) The ITCF INDIA was formed in 2001 as the national governing body for Twenty 20 & Twenty 20 innings cricket in India. ITCF-INDIA is the original promoter of T20 Cricket in INDIA. It is a society, registered under the Societies Registration Act. & Also get its Trade Mark, Copy Rights & Intellectual Property Rights etc under patent act issued by Bharat Sarkar Trade Mark Registry, New Delhi. The ITCF INDIA often uses government-owned stadiums across the country at a
nominal rent. As a founder member of the International Twenty 20 Cricket Federation (ITCF-USA), it has the authority to select players, umpires and officials to participate in international events and exercises total control over them. Without its recognition, no competitive cricket involving ITCF INDIA-contracted Indian players can be hosted within or outside the country. Our federation has been organizing Twenty 20 Cricket championships keeping in mind that in India thousands of all level poor cricket players from backward areas, remote & rural areas, backward class & poor background, Govt. Schools, small towns/streets in India are playing cricket but golden opportunities are less and hidden talents are surplus. India is a big country for playing cricket where cricket is a religion, world cricket all most sponsored by Indian companies. Indian Twenty 20 Cricket Federation (ITCF-INDIA) is a big official platform for those neglected surplus talented poor cricket players from all over India who cannot avail any opportunity to come forward to serve the country through their cricketing talent. These Surplus players i. e. from schools, villages and town streets waste their time, money and talent by playing under fake associations moreover most players involve in human smuggling and spoil their future. The only motive of these fake associations is to collect money from innocent players. We have our own rules and regulation of Twenty 20 Cricket (20 over game ) and Twenty 20 Innings Cricket (game for 20-20 overs of both innings of each side totaling to4 innings game) and own Legal Twenty 20 Cricket infrastructure in India. which have no concern with those of BCCI & ICC. We have been aiming to form Twenty 20 cricket teams comprising of talented cricket players who have not been able to make it big or have been left out from be State/City/Distt/Zonal or national squads.
Our Cricket federation is registered with Registrar of Firms & Societies vide 1860 Society Act. which is valid in India., Trade Mark Registration No. is 1368279 and Logo Registration No. is 1368278, Its copy rights registration number is
A-75416/2006 Dated 19-01-2006 under Patent Act issued by Government of India (Trade Mark Registry), New Delhi. Our Cricket Federation is the country's first ISO 9001:2008 Certified Federation.
The game of cricket has always been compared to religion in India and it is undoubtedly one of the most popular games in India, at the moment. The game is being played in India at different levels. The Indian people play the game at school level, college level, district level, state level, national level and also in the international level. In order to govern the game and also to maintain a high standard of cricket, there are several cricket associations in India. The Indian cricket associations are formed at various levels like district cricket associations, state/City cricket associations or women`s Twenty20 cricket association. The national body for governing the game in India is the Indian Twenty20 Cricket Federation (ITCF India).
The ITCF is the main cricket governing body in India and almost all the other Indian cricket associations are working under its umbrella. The Indian cricket associations are engaged in finding out talented cricketers from the remote areas and also in upbringing new cricket players for India. The associations also organize several cricket tournaments from time to time and these tournaments really help the cricketers to show their talents in front of the cricket administrators. Apart from that, the state/city Twenty 20 cricket associations manage and organize a large number of cricket playing clubs and help them in operating their activities properly. The Twenty20 cricket associations also build new stadiums, gymnasiums and maintain the quality of the existing cricket facilities. They are always working on providing state-of-the-art facilities to the young cricketers, as well.
Almost all the 32 States/City/UT’s of India have their own Twenty 20 cricket associations and there is more than one association in some of the states/city like Maharashtra, Delhi, Bihar, Gujarat etc. The Indian cricket associations are in charge of selecting players to take part in various tournaments. The state associations select the State teams for taking part in the national level tournaments like U-14-Sub Jr. PJLN, U-16-Jr.SCB, U-20-Youth LBS,U-25-BGT, Sr. SVBP & All India Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Cricket Trophy etc. The State/City Twenty 20 Cricket associations also send their own representatives to the ITCF so that they can look after the interests of the cricketers of their respective states. The representatives also help ITCF in governing the game of Twenty 20 cricket in India, in a better and improved way.
