This happens only in India. It requires true valuer to value "GOLD", / "DIAMOND". In which category you are?
Dhyanchand,Vishwanathan Anand,Kapil Dev,Milka Singh,Abhinav Bindra,Vijay Amritraj,Sunil Gavaskar,Leander Paes..congress slapped on the faces of all these legends as there is zero possibility of them coming to campaign for Congress in the next election.
First our Sir manipulated Shiv_Sena to get customs duty waived on Ferrari Then Sir accepted Congress nomination for MP Next he should have refused to accept bharat ratna. But MP sir who delayed retirement by 3 years and in the process spoiled chances of some players such as Manoj_Tiwary,Badrinath and many others is not expected to show such a great gesture in respect of other senior sporting legends.

Sachin Tendulkar fully deserved this honour. However the only thing we have to watch out for is that the crooks in the congress do not take advantage of Tendulkar's accomplishments in the ensuing elections. The party must have done it with an eye on the elections. They are bent upon retaining power by hook or by crook because they know that without power the party will be a rudderless ship after their involvement in numerous scams amounting to multi-billion (trillion) dollars start unfolding itself.

Very Well Said. It shows your pure immaturity. If its true, what you commented, why TIME magazine should recognize him? Why he should fetch 88% of votes? OR TIME magazine is also pocketed by Shive-Sena and Congress? What a pity?
