Sachin Tendulkar - myth or man?

[Raja.Pakistani]

We are kinda flexible in making mortals Gods and Gods mortals. We enjoy turning heroes into Gods. That is why - when it comes to God the world is a pauper and India its only millionaire.

I see so any person who perform good in his feild become GOD of indians or GODS in hinduism..Is "lara" also indian god?

Dont use that word... its not right according to few. If u call him god he has to be divine. likewise if u call him star he has to twinkle at night. Also if u intent to call him express, he has travel at very high speeds.

I pity people who called Michael jackson king of pop.. did he had a country .. did he ruled any nation.. shame on them..


Also calling sachin, god will sent you straight to hell... ooooooooo ... im already scared .. i called him god twice.

Kambli was the original rebel - this did not go down well with the establishment. He was no different than what the likes of Yuvraj are today. But Kambli was also sidelined because of his loyalty to Sachin - Azhar wanted his men. It is a shame - Kambli had a problem against genuinely quick short pitched bowling but EVERYONE in India except Sachin did.

kambli's problem wasn't any short pitch ball or anything like that. it's just that he couldn't handle the fame the way sachin did. just to let you know.. in that world record partnership he had with sachin, it's kambli who had more runs than sachin & was more attacking batsman than sachin! unfortunately kambli didn't have the kinda family upbringing sachin had, to keep him grounded all the time!

Again King is title for human being..nothing wrong with it.. GOD is title for supernatural being

It is an ultimate accolade. But yes, Hinduism is comfortable deifying our heroes - once deified, they become Gods. There are temples dedicated to Rajnikant in the south if I am not mistaken and I've heard of people in Bengal worshiping outside Ganguly's house.

Since our faith is not monotheistic, we are fine with it. That is why the controversy with the Indian national anthem. It was going to be Vande Mataram - which means "Mother India, I worship you" - this could offend Muslim sensibilities since while they can respect Mother India - they can worship only Allah - hence "Jana Gana Mana" was adopted. Of course, another Muslim named A.R. Rehman re-introduced Vande Mataram to the country. But if you don't wanna call Sachin a god - that is your right. To call him one is mine.

Err, I know I was on the ground that day

Kambli had attitude problems - that is correct. The reason for dropping him initially was not his attitude but his string of 0s against a rampaging Walsh and Ambrose in the 93 or 94 series against India in India. That series was drawn 1-1 I think and in Mohali the West Indians blew the Indians away with their pace.

Sensible reply but i am confuse that how this GOD is different to GOD who has got some divine power say Ishwair. There are many hindus who claim that they also believe in one GOD Brahman

i think you are getting a bit carried away with this 'god' thing. in our culture we have quite a few gods & it's natural that humans are named after the gods. like rama, krishna, ganesha, shiva & the rest. it doesn't work the way it does in your culture. you can start worrying the day some one is called 'allaha'. till then take a chill pill & give it a rest to your absurd arguemnet!!

You have to understand that Hinduism is a mythology based religion. In Hindu mythology - there are pantheons of Gods. Gods makes mistakes and cursed by holy men - they go to war with demons and sometimes lose. Indra - the King of Gods lost to Ravan's son who got the name Indrajeet. But that is not limited to Hinduism - ancient Greek and ancient Egyptians cultures were similars. Ours has merely outlasted theirs.

all i was saying is that kambli's downfall was not due to his cricketing ability, but his inability to handle his fame & fortune. most of indian players do face problems when it comes to playing short pitch bowling. i think ganguly was one of the worst in that. then again he was one of the most successful batsmen of ours in the recent past.

ALLAH is arabic name of GOD. In english you call it GOD while in arabic you call it ALLAH. If you find my arguments absurd then dont bother to comment. Thanks

Yes, but Ganguly was given to work out the chinks in his armor. Infact, I think it was Greg Chappell who helped him understand how to play short pitch bowling. Kambli had the wrong attitude - but if he had a leader like Ganguly and a coach like John Wright, he might have had his attitude sorted rather than under an idiot like Azhar with a coach like - who? Bishen Bedi?

Question : Who should we give title of god?
Answer : GOD..someone who has got divine power..omnipotent, omniscient beings..creator/orginator of universe..

I want you to explain me your defination of " GOD" because indian defination of GOD is something different than what dictionary suggest

Dictionary: the Supreme Being considered with reference to a particular attribute: the God of islam. Dictionary

Its just somebody considered, I dont see anybody like that existing, its just a myth, in all probability there is nothing like a god, its just anybody we choose to believe in due to fear/insecurity etc.
