Bharat ratna to SRT? Taking nothing away from him, I don’t really subscribe to this idea of conferringĀ the highest civilian honour to a sportsperson. I don’t have a problem in giving away Khel ratna over and over again to him, but let’s reserve the Bharat ratna to people who really make a difference in the society, like social reformers or scientists or those who fight for a greater cause. Now is that asking too much from people who give away the Padma awards to anyone and everyone at the drop of a hat ?!
