Honestly I find it quite offensive that this question is beginning to be raised more often.
There is no simply no question whatsoever. Not only is Don the greatest batsmen of all time (Only Grace comes close), he is probably the greatest sportsman ever too.
He averages 40 more than the next best. Despite batting today much easier than in Bradman's era his average is 45 more than Tendulkar's. Furthermore, he missed his best years due to the war and remember his eyesight was declared too poor to fight in the war! Imagine Bradman today, playing on covered wickets, with all that protection, having a bat that means mishit edges race to the boundary, playing professionally with entire an staff supporting him, playing against the worst bowling talents of the modern era, with contacts lenses and being able to play in his physical peak.
I believe that in order for Tendulkar to compare to Bradman he would need to retire with an average around 130+
