in Current Affairs & Latest News
The calls for bestowing Sachin Tendulkar with the ''Bharat Ratna'' may have got louder after India''s World Cup triumph but giving the country''s highest civillian honour to the batting icon would require tweaking of the criteria that has been laid down for the coveted award.

The ''Bharat Ratna'' was started in 1954 and has so far been given to 41 eminent personalities, none of whom are sports-persons, the reason being the criteria for the coveted honour.

    Bharat Ratna is highest award. The awards like Padma Shree and Padma Vibhushan are lower but akin to Bharata Ratna. If sports persons can get these lower awards, they should also not be debarred from Bharat Ratna in case of exceptional achievement. If necessary, rules should be modified.

    Om Puri has commented that sports persons do not deserve Bharat Ratna as their achievements are personal and of no social significance.

    His view would have some merit if the award were only for Science, Economics, social work or world peace. Sports career is akin to entertainment industry. Film singers achievement is also personal like Cricketer. Lata Mangeshkar also got Bharat Ratna. Singing is as much personal achievement as sports.

    Om Puri's statement hasno merit. Sachin Tendulkar definitely deserves Bharat Ratna. Rules should be amended and he be given the highest award.
