Vengsarkared is being coined as a new term for individuals in any field who fulfil any one or more of the following criteria:

1. Someone who is axed even after being consistently good in form/performance
2. Someone who is too smart for the team leader
3. Someone who is in his mid-thirties
4. Someone who has scored more than 10000 runs (in cricket), e.g., Dravid and now Ganguly.

(Note: Sachin could be the next, going by criteria 3 and 4 above, but he will escape the axe because he is a Maratha)

There could be more attributes, which readers can suggest. In fact this term can be used in any field for someone who has always felt s/he was doing as well as s/he could. But suddenly s/he is dumped to satisfy the ego of the powers that be. If this term were to gain acceptance, Indians could proudly claim to have added one more to management jargon.
