Se7eN REASONS y SACHIN TENDULKAR SHUD NOT B AWARDED BHARAT RATAN ?
WHO deserves a Bharat Ratan award? IF WE GO THROUGH THE PAST HISTORY OF THE AWARD,MANY DESERVING CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN BESTOWED WITH THE TOP CIVILIAN HONOR BY THE GOVERMENT OF INDIA.
AN INDIAN CITIZEN WHO HAS SHOWN EXCEPTIONAL QUALITIES IN THE FIELD OF ART/SCIENCE/SERVICE TO HUMANITY SHOULD GET THE AWARD.
BUT MR SACHIN TENDULKAR HAS JUST PLAYED & MASTERED A GAME WHICH WAS INVENTED BY THE ENGLISHMEN IN THE 19TH CENTURY.DOES IT DO JUSTICE TO THE HUMANITY?WELL,I DON'T THINK SO.
WITHOUT FURTHUR DELAY ,HERE ARE SEVEN REASONS WHICH I THINK MAKE MR TENDULKAR UNFIT CANDIDATE FOR BHARAT RATAN.
1-AN AWARDEE MUST HAVE LEADERSHIP QUALITIES IN HIM/HER,WHICH MASTER BLASTER LACKS.HE WAS MADE THE CAPTAIN OF INDIAN CRICKET TEAM IN 1996 & WE DID SAW THE RESULTS.THE RANKING CAME CRASHING DOWN.WE WERE LINGERING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLE ALONG WITH BANGLADESH.(Sachin Tendulkar, who captained India in 25 Test matches and 73 ODIs in the late 1990s; Tendulkar was relatively unsuccessful as a captain, winning only 4 Test matches and 23 ODIs.)WIKIPEDIA
2-AN AWARDEE MUST HAVE A CLEAN IMAGE WITHOUT ANY CONTROVERSIES.WELL IN THIS CASE IF WE CAN GO BACK IN HISTORY,MR TENDULKAR EVADED PAYING CUSTOM DUTY TO THE GOI OF INDIA AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF 1 CRORE,DOES IT MATTER TO HIM IF HE IS MAKING MILLIONS BY LANDING MULTI MILLION DOLLAR DEALS WITH WORLD TEL.SECONDLY,IN A TEST MATCH HE WAS CAUGHT TAMPERING WITH THE BALL,SO THAT AGAIN MAKES HIM UNFIT FOR THE AWARD.
3-HE HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN RAJIV GANDHI KHEL RATAN AWARD.TOP MOST AWARD TO AN ATHLETE BY THE GOVERMENT OF INDIA .DO WE NEED TO AWARD HIM AGAIN TO PROVE HIS WORTH TO THE NATION?I GUESS NOT.
4-AWARD IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF NATIONAL SERVICE.DOES PLAYING CRICKET IS NATIONAL SERVICE?
5-THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS NATION OF OVER BILLION INDIANS,WHO DESERVE TO BE HONOURED WITH THIS AWARD.FOR EXAMPLE- MR E SREEDHARAN,RATAN TATA,NARAYAN MURTHY,M F HUSSAIN.
6-LACK OF PARTICIPATION IN THE CAUSE OF THE SOCIETY AGAIN MAKES HIM A LESS DESERVING CANDIDATE FOR THE AWARD.HE OPENED UP RESTAURANTS IN HIS NAME TO PROFIT FROM THE VENTURES RATHER THAN ESTABLISHING A NGO TO HELP THE NEEDY.
7-I KNOW MY REASONS WILL NOT DETER THE PEOPLE OF INDIA TO SUPPORT THE CANDIDATURE OF MR SACHIN TENDULKAR FOR THE BHARAT RATAN,BUT THAT THE WAY IT IS IN INDIA EACH AWARD COMES WITH A BOUQUET OF CONTROVERSIES.INDIAN SOCIETY AS A WHOLE NEEDS A DRASTIC CHANGE IN HOW THE PEOPLE THINKS.WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD NEED TO THINK LOGICALLY & NOT EMOTIONALLY.
