That is the problem with people like you. YOu need to follow your advice and read up before commenting.
Anand had faxed his Indian passport to the HRD ministry 8 months ago, and he was invited to the ceremony in Hyderabad, and visited Hyderabad for the ceremony and to play the chess games.
Just before the ceremony he realized that the organizers couldnt give the degree for which he was invited because as usual HRD ministry was sleeping over this passport that was faxed. since they slept over it, and did not give permission to the unviersity till the last minute, this controversy arose.
The same HRD ministry never questioned his citizendhip while awarding him Khel RAtna. Or when awarding foreigners Bharat Ratna.
Honorary degrees are routinely offered to foreigners by INdian and foregin universities. Why the HRD ministry has to get into such trivial matters as if some national secret is being taken away, is beyond common sense.
In all likelihood, Kapil Sibal may not even be aware of some low level babu in HrD ministry even asking for the citizenship proof which is not required to begin with. If anything Sibal must be embarassed about his episode. Which is why Indian ministers need to trim this bearuacracy and focus on things that re needed. For example building schools in villages, instead of checking if Anand has citizenship or not. Even if he doesnt go ahead and give the honorary degree (whci is of no use to anyone anyway). Build schools Sibal. and keep shut.
where r our north & south Ind ppl who fight onbaord over his origin??? now for all those ppl, he is not north nor south ind, ppl shud fight if he is real madrid fan or barcelona fan?????
Anand is the undisputed king of chess. He has been the most brilliant player in the history of the game. Through his sheer effort he has crossed the narrow confines of geographical divisions and he is a citizen of the earth. He has won on every continent and every country imaginable.
Its shameful that Congress minister of UPA II has the guts to put the question to pride of nation which he rather entire family of Congress goons could not dare to put Rajmata Sonia Becomenco Quatrochi Gandhi ?

These ministers want to give the doctorate, but dont know the guy who is making country proud for past 20 yrs, I think the ministers those who involved should be shavked immediatly on account of poor I.Q. they can't play with our valuable INDIA
Do the congressmen have guts in questioning sonia gandhi about her citizenship and they can project her for PM position couple of electins back y not vishy get doctrate....
Sack the corrupt bureacrats at the HRD who is letting this brilliant mind down. These creatures will suck blood if they are allowed to. Prone to write NO on every file and pocket money at the remotest chances.

"live in india serve your country here"
LOL...so a chess champion should not stay whre the world chess circuit, players, strategists live, but he should come back and live in India, away from where the other chess wizard live and practise? When our archers go to europe and practice with the best there, should we ask them to come and stay in the villages of india and practice with our tribals instead?
"Serve your country here". Next, are you going to tell Indian Navy ships exercising with foreign navies to come back and only serve their country here in India?
I live in the US. Why is it the Americans are not so touchy about where their champions live, who they marry, they respect and treausre their champions.
I can guarantee that such a controversy would never happen in the US because they respect their heroes.
