based on this list, Rahul Gandhi and Pinki Vadra should also get Bharat Ratna. This family gives birth to people who are destined for Bharat Ratna.
Why Govt has not awarded Bharat Ratna to Netaji Subash Chandra Bose? Many persons who had been awarded Bharat Ratna are much less important compared to Netaji. At least this year when his 125th birthday is being celebrated, he should be honoured by Bharat Ratna and we should correct our mistake.
You are very much right. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose should be conferred with Bharat Ratna. I have seen many names, though they are great personality for our nation but Netaji's contribution is much much higher than many of them.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was completely dedicated and extended his great contribution for freedom of India compare with others. I feel without his contribution our freedom was not possible. So he must be conferred with Bharat Ratna.
नकली गांधी परिवार ने अपने आपको जीते जी भारत रत्न घोषित कर लिया।डा.बाबा साहेब अम्बेडकर जी को 1990 मे भारत रत्न दिया गया। जबकि उन्हे यह बहुत पहले मिल जाना चाहिए था।स्वघोषित कंप्यूटर बाबा(पप्पू के पापा) ने ऐसा कोनसा तीर मारा था जो 1991मे भारत रत्न मिला।खिलाफत आन्दोलन वालों को भी भारत रत्न मिल गया जबकि उस आंदोलन को हमारे देश से कुछ लेना देना नहीं था। बहुत से ऐसे महान लोग हुए जिन्होंने विभिन्न क्षेत्रों मे भारत का मान बढाया ओर अपने को राष्ट्र को समर्पित किया पर उन्हें पिछली सरकार ने योग्य नहीं समझा।नेताजी सुभाषचंद्र बोस को कोन भुल सकता है। क्या पप्पू के पापा को उनसे महान ओर राष्ट्र सेवक माना गया।
Why not giving Bharat Ratna award to sir Ratan Tata..!
Nobody talks about our freedom fighter
Subash Chandra Bose
Bhagat Singh
Sukhdev
Rajguru
Chandrashekhar aazad
&Many more
They are really gems of India
Netaji Subhashchandra Bose and Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar are the two eminent personalities who sacrificed their carriers for the sake of Independence. Savarkar opened active front to fight the British Govt. right in London. He inspired many youths to fight the battle of Independence. He secretly supplied revolvers from London to Mumbai for the freedom fighters in India. His two brothers were also sentenced for a very severe imprisonment in Andaman jail. It was Veer Savarkar who advised Netaji to secretly flee from India and took up battle with Briton from outside India. He advised the Nehru Govt. to have a strong Military with Indigenous arms and munition which went in vain. India suffered a lot for this negligence. He also advised Lal Bahadoor Shastri not to go to Tashkant for negotiations being a winner of the war.
