Bharat Ratna politics and controversy

There is no topic without controversy in India nothing feels like ending, as examples you take the Election of our President or U.S.-India Nuclear Deal, or the reservation for women in Parliament!!

Now with Bharat Ratna

Political parties want their voices heard at every given opportunity, nobody wants to fall behind or feel missed, there is nothing new.

Many times previously the highest civilian medal was in controversies,

when it was awarded to MGR who did not accept Padma award for the reason it was in hindi.,(he might not have accepted it if he was alive).

Bharat Ratna was awarded to most people with political background, only few individuals like

Mother Teresa ,Great Singer Legend MS subba, Lata ji,pandit Ravi shankar, APJ Kalam,Ustad Bismillah khan were lucky few,

Bharat Ratna lost its charm recently,

Giving it to political figures gives the parties boost or mileage in some or the other way, so most times it was snatched at the earliest opportunity ignoring the deserved ones.

The Govt or the award committee should be transparent,unbiased,withstand pressure,with consensus which happened at least occasions previously.

I personally wont feel bad if it was given a political person, but should be rightful and deserving individual.

Why don’t we consider Murlidhar Devidas Amte (Baba Amte) for Bharat Ratna,for his work in social awareness,Lepeorsy mission and environment issues?

or

Retired IPS Kiran Bedi for her work in various assignments especially work in improving Tihar jail and for her strive and commitment to social justice

A true role model for IAS ,IPS, and other public servants.

or

Infosys Mentor Narayan Murty who has nobel thoughts and has done so much to the city of bangalore

Like these individuals who contributed some of their time in public service very few in are there in this society,

then we have

Sai baba and anandmaiee amma for their peace and social service, can also be considered,

Marking the centeniary of Bhagat Singh, it can be given to him, that can be true homage

I should say if atleast these individuals are considered or Govt gives a thought, It can be well deserved victory for the current controversy!!

Vajpayee and Jyothi basu, Karunanidi are great leaders., Kanshi ram was also I have respect for them but

genuinely speaking its been asked/demand only and only to gain political advantage, and people of this country has a spilt on giving it to anyone of the above 4 leaders,
The list would go on if we add the demand from Telugu Desam for NTR as they feel he should be deserving candidate , Karnataka would ask it for Raj Kumar.

Thats enough of polictics
A reporter saying that why it is not considered last for 7 years and asked why it should not be given to Sachin??



I total agree that Sachin is role model to young generation I don’t know what has he done for city of Mumbai or the his state , but think an individual asked the Indian government to seize customs duty on his Ferrari?
know for brand ambassadoring and endorsements!! could not able to win world cup for india ? does he really deserve at this stage ? No

Sachin will surely laugh off on this, sachin has long way to go and in future yes he might be a Ratna! May be Sir knighthood from UK for his untiring contribution to world cricket and enacting greatest skills and respect for true sportsman spirit and fair play



Somebody was talking about why not Mr BigB ??

The least i would say is nothing about him.



if previsouly it was allegedly given to the undeserved?

should we also repeat the same mistake again and again ??
