Bharat Ratna is for giving selfless service to Nation like Dr. Roa,
like Dr. B R ambedkar , Like mother Teresa, C.V. Raman, Vinoba Bhave,
Abdul kalam ajad.
I don't believe Sachin's contributions are of that
order, for him to be awarded Bharat Ratna. He is merely a sports
person, agreed a great one. But his aspiration to become a sports person
was personal, not from any desire to
serve country (I don't know, how being a sports person can be considered
as a service to the country). Yes, he definitely did a great service to
the game and he should be awarded whatever is highest award for that
game. Even if you want to give this award to a sportsperson then why not
to
- The five-time World chess champion Vishwanathan Anand.
- Dhyan Chand died 34 years ago, his legacy still continues. Dhyan Chand with three Olympic gold medals.
- Amitabh Bachan and Dilip kumar.. who did for Indian Cinema..
How does "national service" or "public service" apply to his
contributions? I don't believe his service to the game should anyway be
misunderstood as the service to the nation. There are many people, who
are doing far better service to the nation, selflessly.
Even Why not
for Baba Amte, Tukaram Ombale the police man who caught Ajmal Kasav by
sacrificing his life. It helped the country to turnaround the world
opinion in the fight against terrorism.
From now there is no significance of this award for me.
