Many Many Hearty congratulations to you, Manav!!!!!
You've won the topmost Awards of Sports in India, the Khel Ratna Awards. It must have really meant a lot to you, since, it being the most important achievement of your career.
Apart from Cricket and Tennis, it is also very important to recognise the contribution of the persons representing other sports like Shooting, Archery, Billiards, Carrom, Chess etc.
As P.T. Usha has said that too much of popularity and I think, more than required importance given only to Sania Mirza will restrict her game from improving and that,only Sania does't mean Spotrs in India. Other sportspersons must also be awarded and recognised.
Sania must have been recognised as She has been altogether doing tough to gain the heights day by day which no Indian has done so far. Any way Let us wish that she would soon get as such.
congrats to all who get the awards, but i still believe the khelratna belongs to marycom, the three time boxing world champion, always she is underlined because rich north indian lobby, she is one of the 'anmols'produced from 7 sister states, she never get a good support from government neither the boxing association that is why she recommended on last day after media criticise the association.
any how i am not decreasing sandhu's performance, he is also a talented guy, best of luck to him and everybody.
