5. Not so easy. Clues: American born - Indian origin, recieved monetary help from Pamela Anderson.



















Ans: Mohini Bharadwaj. Some guessed this lady to be a porn star.

6. Another not so easy. Clues: England, South Africa, Aparthied










Ans: Basil D'Oliveira. A very gud non-white cricketer during his times, he had to move to England in 1960. He got his British citizenship in 1966 and was about to be selected to 1968-69 england tour of SA. He was initially kept out due to political reasons. But he was re-instated when one of the England selectors dropped out. SA was dead against his inclusion in the visiting england team, and all the harakiri that followed ensured that South Africa is kept out of World Cricket for a period of around 20 years.

7. Identify both. Clue: Bus



















Ans: Rosa Parks with Martin Luther King. She is the lady who was arrested for refusing to give her bus seat for a white man.

8. Every easy. Identify the cricketer in "action".

















Ans: Javed Miandad. Bowler was Dennis Lillee. If anybody has a link to a vdo of this incident, please inform me.

Copy pasting from wikipedia. Here is a description of what happened.

Described as "one of the most undignified incidents in Test history", the clash between Lillee and Pakistani batsman Javed Miandad in 1981 was especially explosive. Miandad turned Lillee behind square for a single, and in completing an easy run, he collided with the bowler.

Eyewitnesses agreed that Lillee was to blame and most observed that he had deliberately moved into the batsman's path. According to Lillee, Miandad struck him from behind with his bat. Lillee then turned to confront Miandad, and Miandad lifted his bat above his head as if to strike him.

The unedifying images of Tony Crafter, the umpire, stepping in to hold back Lillee while Miandad wielded his bat like a deranged javelin thrower were beamed around the world. The Australian Board acted, reducing the fine fixed by players from A$200 to A$120 and adding a two-match ban. Cynics noted that the punishment ensured that Lillee missed two fairly low-key one-day internationals, and none of the Tests

9. A toughie. Clues: Started a business conglomorate in Chennai, former Finance Minister of India, Maps :)




















Ans: TT Krishnamachari (TTK). Not sure if 'maps' is a good clue. My Geography teacher in school used to insist us to buy "TTK" brand maps and not other brands.
