Anand's mom has given Anand the initial touches of chess. This mom would have been an GM had she picked up the ropes herself.
Ok all great sports are being promoted and even the coaches/ trainers are awarded national awards. Now that India has produced so not only chess wizards but also champions should'nt we think about an award for the coach/trainer.
The second GM of Asia has triggered a spurt of youngsters to line up behind him, many also becoming GM.
Who is the previous best from India, and from Asia.
.. Another name is of Abhinav Bindra who established himself as world champion in Air Rifle shooting in Beijing 2008. Let us join many to pay our humble tributes to them also and wish them every success in their long & happy lives! Vishwanathan Anand, S. Ramesh Babu & Abhinav Bindra have established themselves as very popular spots stars of the world fame by their hard work & sincere efforts They have our heartiest congratulations & we wish them every success for their long & blissful life! Let us wish & pray to our youths that instead of diverting their attention towards other things of worldly pleasures should imbibe good deeds of these world rising stars to keep our national flag high at the top of the world!
We hasten to congratulate Vishwanathan Anand who has won the World Chess Championship for three consecutive finals and has established himself as a World Star of Chess. The editorial is worth reading. Here is another person S. Ramesh Babu, founder and director of Top of the World Centre for Excellence, Bangalore for establishing another world record in Frisbees. Though, he is metallurgical scientist but has passion for leading adventurous life by bringing many laurels in his life such as being recipient of seven national awards in different sports like lawn tennis, throw ball, solo kite-flying, and paper plane-making and Sanskrit recitation, among others. He is indeed, a very likeable person having magnificent facets. Let us join many to pay our humble tribute to him and wish him every success & long life!

Very abusive remark. Just because people from Hindi belt are not economically prosperous as a group does not mean you should use such language.

Why are you bothered? After all there was no abusive language used and the message wasn't against national unity. So, don't act smart

dude... every one has the right to glorify the winner if he/she belongs to some group...open up ur mind... By the way, go to bengal and talk against bose, people get angry and beat u.. same words u utter in another place of india, people wont bother... This is called group syndrome.....

Anand is not only belongs to tamilnadu. He is an asset for the whole nation. Don't try to play politics in congatulating his victory

Let Anand be the first sports personality in India to get Bharath Rathna. He is already one in the minds of people. Government has to just give a formal award

Will Karunanidhi name a main road in Madras after Vishwanathan Anand? or is he too busy with his brand of politics?
Re: Give him a Bharath Rathna
by Murali on Oct 30, 2008 10:18 PM
Dear Harish! Karunanidhi will not name a Road in chennai after the Grand master becoz Anand is a Forward community guy Karunanidhi thinks and openly shows his hatred towards entire Forward community(bramhins) manytimes and he is accusing them as invaders (aryans)thro' Kaiber and bolan paus ways and does not belong to tamilnadu's dravidan culture. So Don't expect Karunanithi who is playing caste plotics over the last 60 yrs will honour the grand nmaster by naming a Road in Chennai after him. there will be Periyars and Annas name for most of teh Roads buildings,Bridges in tamil nadu but nothing is named after the deserved

really....there are a few brahmins in DMK right now.Do you know that?
also there is Rajaji Salai in Chennai. Now tell me which caste Rajaji belonged?
anti-brahminism was there in 60s and 70s..now its almost non-existant and we are all improving as people without discrimination against caste,creed, sect and religion.
TamilNadu is ONE OF THE FEW STATES in INDIA where hindus and muslims live in HARMONY.

He has to name his children, grandchildren name before he does this. Do you need this at all?
Has the chess federation named any event on behalf of him?
Let us not belittle Anand by making these political claims

If you know the context in which he said that, you wouldn't blabber this. Give him some respect man... In a country where any sport otehr than Cricket is effectively prohibited; we didn't even have an International Master - here was the first Grand Master; keeps on miantaining the world leadership - becomes the disputed (from 'some' Russian GMs)and then, undisputed world champion... stil his countrymen talk this S**t about him..! He is the inspiration to so many Koner Hami / Harikrishna like youngsters to come forward and take up Chess as their main stream career and be Grand Masters ...! If a Sachin Tendulkar / Dhoni / Rahul Dravid are gerat - nothing to take away from their achievements - but, Vishy is equally great..!
Someone said some time ago - Indians don't know how to respect their heroes...!!!
Re: Give him a Bharath Rathna
by Great Indian on Oct 30, 2008 10:06 PM
I am not a tamilian. And I don't hail visy because he is a Tamilian - but because he did all that as an INDIAN..! One of the worst trends I am seeing on these Rediff blogs these days... the moment some supports a person, immediately we start attaching the regional clour to that blogger..! What am I upset about..? Below: 1. Your ignorance about a National Hero. 2. Without knowing the context, you talked S**T about the game, gave him money and all that rubbish...! hope the above clarifies..!Next time when you talk about any National heroes, please undersatnd the context first and then speak.

Libran - Leave alone bharat Ratna mate... our country doesn't even give him Rajeev khel Ratna...! Disgusting - but true... if Dhoni (anothing to take away from that man...) can be a rajeev Khel Ratna - why not Vish Anand...??! Oh - yes - Chess can't be 'telecast' live and hence, it doesn't have marketing muscle..in India..!!!

Guys..please check your facts
In 2007 Vishy was awarded the second highest civilian award of India, the Padma Vibhushan. He is also the first recipient of Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award in 1991-92, India's highest sporting honour.
