Recently there has been lot of Hullabaloo for the heighest national award in India, Bharat-ratna! Too many names were thrown on the table and Government was wathing all this with folded hands. The outcome was; this year also, consecutively 7th year, the award goes unclaimed!
What does it really mean? India does not have anyone, not even a single person in 1-billion population who could claim this award!? Not really I guess. The problem is there are just too many personalities who have equal share in the award. To understand this, we have to realize that India is growing too fast (they say around 9% is the GDP growth). There are so many development happening in there. So its hard to single handedly identify one person as a champion for this award. Besides the growth of India is happening on all the sections, Industrial arena, Business, Marketing, Journalism not to mention politics and many more. Every part is contributing equally to the GDP, and if we agree to this, its hard to confer the award to one person.
So this year we have lot of Padma-awards but Bharat-ratna still awaits its beholder, but I guess the wait will be worth it.
