if Anand has not played chess.. then india never had a world champion in chess in any category... we never had won asian games gold medal and other international medals in chess.. we never got a chance to organise world championship.. chess won't become part of curriculum... we wont have highest no. of rated chess player in the world.. we wont have dozens of gms in india.... but, if sachin had not played cricket.. still we have won as many world cup as we have today.. still corporates would be looting public money in the name of IPL.. we might have won few lesser matches...

chess is played in 150 countries but not a sport.. it is part of asian games but not a sport... chess is mental sports.. and it's the only sports india can dominate the world
It is demand for many seasons and reason for giving Dhyanchand the Bharat Ratna to him. But government is not doing this. By giving it to sachin it is insult of Dhyanchand. No, The real Bharat Ratna does not in need of any Bharat Ratna award. Dhyanchand is the real ratna not only ratna but a more precious than kohinoor diamond. So he dont need any other award. Bharat ratna is for those who are related with congress and BJP specially the father body of both.
Awards seem to reflect the political mood......nothing wrong in the award for these two people .....it is our system of honoring that i am commenting on......Long Live India
