Ok, they were awarded during their tenure, doesn't mean that they awarded themselves. Nehruji was the most famous freedom fighter after Gandhiji, and 1971, after the Bangladesh war, Atalji himself had described Indira as "Durga Mata". I won't be surprised if in both the cases it had strong approval of the opposition as well.
Hi TP Bro,
In India the Bharat Ratna award nominee is sent to President by the PMO(prime minister office) with PM approval. PMO is nothing but PM. President is just to accept and award. Indira and Nehru sent their own names while they were PM. Coming to the point of opposition, there wasn't any notable opposition to make dharnas and no super excited media to show Breaking NEWS. Nowadays, due to RTI people are knowing are these things or else nobody would ever know, who does what :rofl:
I accept CS Azad, Bhagat Singh and many more freedom fighters are more than eligible for this award. Can we think of Nehru and Indira more than freedom fighers who gave away their lives. People say, Nehru is a freedom fighter(actually great to hear that). I am not against Nehru. FYI, Nehru never went out on roads or took risk of his life. He was in a committee, sitting in a room discussing about freedom with the British.
I am an admirer of Sachin Tendulkar and know every player is unique but can we even compare him to the Legends like Major Dyan Chand and Milka Singh, who made their fortunes and of the Nation inspite of many odds. Congree gave Sachin Bharat Ratna to get him into their party and make MP, so that followers of Saching would vote for Congree.
Kahi bhi dekho Rajiv ya Indira ka Naam, kya inke siva desk me koi nahi ??
Note : I am not against anyone, just another hurt Indian coz of sick politics.
Anyway, Cheers Happy Trading :thumb:
