Its a good information chinmoy.. But i have not much idea about these issues.
Thanks for the information,Chinmoy. Even I am not aware of this issue. :)
Its a good thing that the RTI has taken a firm stand. Actually the information about the Padma awardees should be very much transparent, which unfortunately is not so at the moment!

I always wonder why B grade actors such as Saif Ali Khan and Aishwarya Rai etc. get awarded such high civilian honors whereas many people who are doing great work remain unnoticed!

I agree with kalyani that mostly undeserving actors and actress are given without proper analysis..may well deserving people and acheivers are not given..
It's true some extraneous factors guide selection of awardees in some of the cases.
