The government’s decision to award the country’s highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna, to cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has reignited the debate on who should have got it – the master blaster or hockey legend, the late Dhyan Chand? Sachin has become the first sportsperson to be awarded the coveted prize after rules were changed – he is also the youngest person to get the award. While lauding his achievements, many have questioned whether Sachin deserved it more than Dhyan Chand. One argument is – an idol from India’s national sport should have got it first, i.e. Dhyan Chand.
well done sachin. yes he deserves for this award due to his effective contribution for indian cricket!!
