Read this ...
"He was also a God-fearing man, one who would not hurt even an ant or fly"

and now this ...
"On the rest day, they were taken on a hunting expedition in the vicinity of his palace"

They are talking about 'G R Vishwanath', buddy. He was so & even today he is so.

Hi Silver Mani. No one is asking Nawab to do bhajan kirtan. But when Indian law prohibits people from hunting animals, he is also a person who comes under the law (as long as he is a citizen of India).

All the respondents do not know how to read and understand written English - BOTH sentences referred to by Bellevue are talking about GR Vishwanth. So there is a contradiction indeed - why will a guy who doesn't even hurt a fly want to go on a hunting trip?!?

Pataudi was never consistent.
Just see his test average less than 40 runs.
He is just average player.

Why make this news so big yaar? He is after all an average cricketer. You can argue that he played with one eye. Boss, if his chance was given to a normal player, he would have performed better than this Jack eyed player. Just because he hails from Royal family, it doesn't mean you should make this news big. There are players who served India and are struggling to make their lives like B.S Chandrashekar. Rather let media make news about them atleast when they are alive so that their living conditions become better.

Sorry if I had hurt somebody. But I am just trying to bring out the truth.

As i read, the Story of Pataudi, i feel that He was the only Brave guy in Indian cricket team during the West Indies tour. NO Maratha player (kar's), no other player was that brave to face those fast paces from WI.

Pataudi played his entire career with one proper eye . As Gavaskar said of him - "all those who think of him as an average batsman should close one eye for a day and then try to light a candle " . He overcame this disability with courage and persistence . Despite his handicap he was good enough to score six centuries including a double . Most of all , his contributions to Indian cricket went beyond batting or brilliant fielding . When he became captain , India's position in world cricket was roughly what Bangladesh's is now . He gave India the belief that they could win with his aggressive captaincy .

Taklu, it is not often that you see articles on the players of yester years. Try to bear it atleast during the time of their death.....
