Guys ..I personally feel that it will be injustice to all the other sports(except cricket) fraternity if sachin receives a bharat ratna.Let us not forget that hockey is our national sports. I am denying the fact that sachin is genius, but at the same time let us forget the legends of hockey ( dhyan chand and roop chand) who made india to win many world cups during their tenure..We should think of developing other sports which unfortunately our government is lacking in.By giving sachin this award the focus will shift only to cricket and not any other sport in india.

Raaghavan Krishnamurthy- How will you like the idea of instituting an award in the name of Dhyan Chand. Dhyan chand is a historic figure and most probably, he cannot be given the award. If it were so, Emperor Ashok may be eligible for Bharat Ratna.
Hi gulshan kumar ajmani , your point is correct, but couldn't completely agree with you.

As a matter of fact "Dhyan Chand Award" is already there, to honor the sports people for their lifetime achievement in sports and games.

But this doesn't stop Dyan Chand receiving Bharat Ratna, because it is not just a sports award, and it is an awarded for the highest degrees of national service and I am sure you will accept, that Dyan Chand is an eligible candidate.

Coming to the statement that he is an historic figure, we can accept the fact to an extent, but many famous people in India under his era received Bharat Ratna, if that is the case, then he automatically qualifies for it.
