Though I have been away from the list, a friend forwarded me the discussion on Sachin Tendulkar's birthdata. Being a big Tendulkar fan, I could not resist replying. So here's a note before I go to sleep.
Those who suggest that the birthdata given for Tendulkar is wrong unfortunately did not give any alternative birthdata. If they give an alternative birthdata, we can evaluate it. If all they have to say is that this date is wrong, it is not quite helpful.
I have looked at several events in Tendulkar's life using the natal chart and annual TP charts. In fact, I made several correct predictions on Tendulkar using 16:28 of April 24, 1973. For example, Tendulkar had a terrible 2003 in test cricket and scored only 153 runs in the entire year. I predicted on vedic-astrology yahoogroup that Tendulkar would experience a viparita raja yoga and go from one extreme to another to make a high score during Dec 26, 2003-Jan 5, 2004. Indeed, he scored 302 runs without getting out in the first 4 days of January (more than double what he made in entire 2003)!
If you check his 2003-04 annual TP chart, you'll see that 12th lord Moon and 8th lord Jupiter conjoin in 12th in D-10. Considering that this VRY involves Gaja-Kesari yoga also, I thought it should give a high score that will be remembered. Moon-Jupiter antardasa as per compressed annual Tithi Ashtottari dasa ran during Dec 26-Jan 5.
There was a discussion on his marriage. Moon and Rahu in UL in rasi chart show something unconventional about marriage.
Look at the annual TP chart of 1995-96. Venus, karaka of marriage, is the exalted 7th lord and he happens to be the ruler of the year too! He owns vivaha sahama. In the Kalachakra of the TP chart, he is in the spoke of Eeshaana showing auspicious events. Thus, marriage during the year makes perfect sense. As per compressed annual Tithi Ashtottari dasa, dasa of Jupiter and antardasa of Venus ran during May 23-June 6, 1995. Jupiter is the 9th lord in rasi chart and 7th lord in navamsa chart. Moreover, he closely aspects vivaha sahama! For those who don't know, Tendulkar was married to Anjali on May 25, 1995.
Look at the annual chart of 1999-2000. Sun is closely afflicted by Saturn in rasi chart and the 9th from Sun in D-12 has Saturn. The 9th lord of Rasi chart as well as D-12 is in 8th in D-12. Annual dasa of Saturn brought the death of father. The same Saturn is yogakaraka in D-10 and occupies 11th and he did well in career (century on return from funeral, albeit against Kenya).
Look at his annual chart of 2000-01. The 5th lord and puttra sahama lord Saturn has a close conjunction with naisargika and chara puttra karaka Jupiter. In D-7, Jupiter is the 5th lord in lagna. He had his son Arjun that year.
Look at his annual chart of 1998-99. The 6th house from lagna contains 3 malefics, in the 3rd house from arudha lagna and in the 1st house from Ghatika Lagna. One of the three planets happens to be Saturn, the ruler of the year! Saturn dasa was the first dasa. No wonder the first few days of the year saw a blitzkrieg of runs from him at Sharjah. He scored back-to-back centuries against Australia to first take India into finals and then to win the trophy for India.
Look at his annual TP chart of 1996-97. Venus is the 5th lord in lagna in both rasi and D-10. He shows ascension to a powerful position. In Kalachakra, he is in the spoke of Indra and shows authority. It was in Venus dasa that he became India's Test team captain.
Look at his annual TP chart of 1999-2000. Mercury is the lord of rajya sahama lord and he is afflicted by Sun and Saturn. In D-10, he occupies the 8th house. In Mercury dasa, he resigned as Indian captain. In Kalachakra, Mercury is on the spoke ruled by Varuna.

I have examined many events in his life using the natal chart as well as annual TP charts. I am reasonably satisfied that this birthdata is correct. Of course, skeptics can think that I am being satisfied easily, with wrong data. But, *I* am quite comfortable with this data.
It is not impossible that Tendulkar's family naively disclosed the correct data in the early days without knowing about all the politics of astrology and decided to mislead professional astrologers who approached them later because of various concerns that came up as Tendulkar became famous and gave them wrong data. If these astrologers share the data that they can think is right, I can evaluate it for myself. Until then, I will use this data as I am quite comfortable with it. This allows uncanny explanation of many known events based on many techniques. Why should I reject it just because somebody insists that it is wrong without giving an alternative, especially when it makes good sense in my evaluation?
May Jupiter's light shine on us,
Narasimha
Namaste,
Oops, I also meant to comment on the Pakistani astrologer's prediction that Tendulkar would retire.
In my judgment, Tendulkar will not retire this year.
Tendulkar may continue to have problems as long as Rahu is in Pisces. Once Rahu moves to Aquarius, Tendulkar will have another golden phase in his career. Those 2.5 years will be great. In his annual TP charts of 2006-07 and 2007-08, 5th lord Sun is exalted in lagna. In 2007-08 chart, hora lagna and ghatika lagna also join lagna (and hence Sun). Starting from Sun dasa of 2006-07 (Nov-Dec 2006), he will do very well for a year and half. Tendulkar will reach great new heights then. Wright's recent comment may then prove right after all!
Though the odds for this are extremely low, I will not be surprised if Tendulkar becomes captain again in 2006-07 (esp second half of 2006).
However, 2008-09 chart shows some problems. Ruler of the year Sun is in own sign in 9th in D-10, but Ketu eclipses him. He may have some problems with administrators.
In the 2009-10 chart, Moon is the ruler of the year. He is the 8th lord in 7th in D-10 and is a clear maraka. However, Moon joins lagna lord Jupiter and gives Gaja-Kesari yoga. My expectation is that he will retire in a well-planned event (rather than being unceremoniously sacked) during 2009-10.
Summary: He may retire in 2009-10. Even 2008-09 is possible. But, his retirement before his lunar birthday in 2008 is almost impossible. Moreover, end of 2006, 2007 and beginning of 2008 will bring a glorious phase in his cricketing career.
May Jupiter's light shine on us,
Narasimha
