The Govt. has gone to such low levels. Vishy has always been playing for India. The person who has brought so many laurels to India, this is the treatment he gets from our politicians and bureaucrats.. Shame on you.
The Hotelier from New York Sant Singh Chatwal is eligible for Padma Bhushan honour that is totaly controversial and to date there is no clarification on this. The name of the PM himself is involved in this controversy. But, a great player like Anand is being treated like this. It is a shame. What does it matter where Anand lives, so long as his Passport is Indian?
The same Govt is shameless in talking greatly about people of Indian origin, who are big time people in Obama's Govt. Though some of them have renounced India publicly.
It is a shame for the whole country and each and every citizen by denying (or delaying) the conferment of Honorary Doctorate to the World Chess Champion. If the same is conferred to any politician, will the Ministry look into all the minute details that was checked for Anand. I think by denying to Anand, they might have reserved that Degree to any `dirty politican'.
I know at least 2-3 Indian-American (having American passport/citizenship) who had been honoured Padmabhishan. Then what is stopping this univ./HDR ministry do such blunder to Anand. An honorory doctorate is not limited to Indian citizens. Height of Indian Babuism, shame!
as according to MMS only minority or specific minority has the first right to the award, reward, resources, seats in educational institutions as u r not a *utlet u don't deserve the doctorate and MMS won't loose sleep
In case of Sonia u have to belong to her religion take the case of STAINES they were awarded
u should understand the mindset of these shameless Nangus, err congus
Forget these Nangus we indians will always b with u and are indebted for your achievements
Highly deserving candidate, Kalmadi should be given the doctorate , Bharat Ratna and also Novel price for peace. When brain dead politicians speak, this is what happens.Sibal is a P I M P - Powerful Indian MP.
