#360View: Virat Kohli's volatile personality will stop him becoming a legend like Sachin Tendulkar
Virat Kohli can never be the next Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli may bat like Tendulkar, and smash all the records in the game, but until he realises there are several other things in this world to respect other than a good-length delivery, he is never going to earn the kind of admiration and love that players like Tendulkar, Brian Lara and others have through their exploits. What transpired between Kohli and a senior Indian journalist in Perth on Tuesday over something written about his personal life needs to be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

After beef ban, Hindu groups force abattoirs to close
By Meenakshi Sharma MUMBAI (Reuters) - Members of a Hindu nationalist group have forced several abattoirs in Maharashtra to shut after a law was passed banning the beef trade there, a leader of the group and a lawyer for meat traders said on Wednesday. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad, or World Hindu Council, a nationalist group linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party, acted after winning a court order to stop the killing of bulls and bullocks. "Members of the VHP came to Deonar abattoir late at night and asked us to stop the slaughter, showing the copy of the High Court order," said Mohammad Ali Qureshi, president of the Bombay Suburban Beef Dealers Association. The beef trade is mainly controlled by minority Muslims, raising concern that the ban is driven by Modi loyalists pursuing a Hindu agenda.

Eating Beef Is Not Sinful
In almost every part of the world, Beef is harvested from cows, bulls, heifers, etc. Acceptability of beef as a food source varies in different parts of the world according to the availability. Numerous Hindu scriptures are witnesses to such sacrifices. Being a Muslim, I’m afraid it would evoke undue reaction if I to reproduce what Dr. D N Jha, a Professor of History, Delhi University and member of ICHR, had written in his book ‘the Myth of the Holy Cow.’ Mr. Jha had received death threats over his book. Just to bring home the point, I am quoting the Hindu scriptures like Manusmriti, Vedas, Upanishads, Brahmins, Grihsutras, Dharmasutras and others.

BCCI Set to Hand Pay Cuts to Indian Cricketers
Mumbai: Income distribution to Indian players like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and others down the line from the BCCI's coffers has taken a steep dip of Rs 38 crore in 2013-14 as compared to the previous fiscal because of a corresponding decrease in income from media rights. "In the year under consideration the expenses on cricketing operations went down marginally from Rs 551 crore last year to Rs 516 crore in the current year. The provision for gross revenue share payable to the players has gone down from Rs 49 crore to Rs 11 crore in the current year.
