Comment on Godhra communal carnage Following the post-Godhra communal carnage in Gujarat in 2002, Tendulkar reacted by saying that 'If I had a pistol, I would shoot Gujarat Chief Minister '. This reaction of Tendulkar had evoked mixed reactions, local Modi supporters burning his effigies while others lauding his remark.

His plays have been translated and performed in many Indian languages. By providing insight into major social events and political upheavals during his adult life, Tendulkar became one of the strongest radical political voices in in recent times.
While contemporary writers were cautiously exploring the limits of social realism, he jumped into the cauldron of political radicalism and courageously exposed political hegemony of the powerful and the hypocrisies in the Indian social mindset.
