Sachin Tendulkar spoke out on NEET protests, urging society to uphold hard work and meritocracy.
He stressed that failure is acceptable but cheating is not, citing a lesson from his father, professor Ramesh Tendulkar.
Tendulkar said students' disappointment over unrewarded hard work is understandable and must be addressed collectively.

Other cricketers like Shikhar Dhawan and Mohammad Kaif also voiced concerns, calling for fair resolutions and an end to student mistreatment.
