"Bharat Ratna" highest civilian honor of India. Since freedom only 41 people are able to receive this most prestigious award of our country. It is given for exceptional service towards advancement of Art, Literature and Science, and in recognition of Public Service of the highest order. There is no written criterion to whom this should be given and there is no written provision that Bharat Ratna should be awarded to Indian citizens only. These two things makes this award vulnerable. Means how would you decide that whose service is exceptional and of the highest order.Is there any constitutional definition of exceptional or highest order, I feel we can't define.
I would be very happy, like every other cricket fan moreover every other Indian if it is confered to Sachin Tendulkar,because cricket is like religion in India. And Sachin is like a God of Cricket. He carries himself as one should follow him,whether on the field or off the field.
But how the jury will decide that it should be given to Sachin, or Sachin's work is better than the other people in other fields. There are so many people in other field who's work is as good as Sachin's in their field and there are not even think of as a contender for this award which makes me feel bad (Personally). It always come to my mind why this award in not give to :
(Links given automatically proves my point)
1)Magician of Hockey "Major Dhyaan Chand" who contributed in 3 Olympic Gold Medal for India.
2)Viswanathan Anand (Chess)- 4 time world champion and 6 time chess oscar winner. He proved excellence of indian intelligence to world many times. Notable Tournament Victories
3)MC Mary Com (Boxing)- 5 time world champion. Achievements
4)A.R. Rehman, No need to say anything. (118 Nominations and 102 Award)
5)Guru Ranbindra Nath Tagor (Nobel Prize for Literature)
7)Mahatma Gandhi
8)Netaji Subhash Chandra bosh (award given and then taken back (why)).
and lots more.
Even if we see the list of awardees you will ask to your self why they are selected? I also predicted to whom next Bharat-Ratna will be given. I feel one day Sonia Gandhi (Not done exceptional till now but no body knows)will be honored by this award because Shri Nehru Ji received this, Shri Mati Indira Gandhi ji Got this , Shri Rajiv Gandhi ji Confered this now its turn for Shri Mati Sonia Gandhi ji and then Shri Rahul ji.
So Its my request to Jury to be as transparent as they can, please don't distribute this award to every second person and don't became biased of anybody's popularity, power or money. Do favor those whose works are directly associated with the glory of India.
