BHARAT RATNA FOR VISHWANATHAN ANAND, NOW -- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL.
He makes us proud to be an Indian.
Hardly anybody in the world outside these few cricketing nations knows who Sachin is .
Sachin has to go a long way. India lost the game in which he scored his hundredth century, due to his pathetic strike rate —as in many other games.
Who cared for Sachin in IPL 5? He is just hanging on, taking away a slot for a talented youngser.
A few hours ago, Vishwanathan Anand beat challenger Boris Gelfand of Israel in a tense rapid chess tie-breaker, after a 6-6 deadlock in the 12 Classical games, to win the World Championship crown for the fifth time and fourth in a row. This is despite being in a cold hostile Israeli-Russian Jew nexus atmosphere..
He is now the undisputed world champion. To win a 5th world championship at the age of 43 is indeed commendable. He has won the chess oscar 6 times.
Anand is the only player to have won the world title in three formats--classical, rapid and knockout.
Anand first won the World Chess Championship title in 2000 beating Latvian Alexei Shirov in Tehran in 2000. He then followed it up with wins in 2007 (Mexico), Bonn (2008), Sofia (2010) and now Moscow (2012).
In 1987, he became India’s first Grandmaster and the youngest Grandmaster in the World at that time.
In 1991, Anand won his first major International Chess Tournament, finishing ahead of world champion Garry Kasparov and former world champion Anatoly Karpov.
Anand is an exciting player. Playing his moves at great speed, he earned the nickname of 'Lightning Kid.
HE TRULY DESERVES THE BHARAT RATNA AWARD.
A lot of Indians may disagree, and would love to see Sachin Tendulkar getting the award. But let me remind them , cricket is played by 9 countries on the planet-- nay -- 8.5 countries-- this would be more appropriate.
Football is played by all the 200 odd countries on this planet-- and so is chess.

Hardly anybody in the world outside these few cricketing nations knows who Sachin is .
Cricket is a team game, and is also a game of chance . Chess is an individual sport where you can be cock sure that only the skill of the player matters. There’s no luck and no teamwork.
Unlike cricket, Chess is probably one of the most competitive sports in the world, with 158 national associations and millions of rated players. To emerge the world champion 5 times out of these millions of players is no mean task and requires great concentration, immense hard work and a sense of purpose.
Anand had already been a world champion for 5 years when Sachin debuted in 1989 .
Anand is one of the only 6 players to break the 2800 FIDE ratings mark,. In the highly competitive sport of Chess which has a history of more than a thousand years.
As far as upholding nation’s intellectual image in the competitive world is concerned, who can be a better ambassador than Vishwanathan Anand, reigning the world space and bringing right dignity to cerebral content of India for decades. And he is the longest world champion in sports category, without any taint to his public profile.
Vishwanathan Anand has never been in any kind of controversy concerning brand and sponsorship. He is THE role model for yound Indian kids. He cares to visit local championships when he is in India.
He has grace.
Who cares if chess is a physical sport or not?-- we Indians are proud of him , as a sheer achiever in a combat mode mindsport..
We Indians are rather surprised that our sports minister , makes noise only for stupid matters.He is a poor motivator.

Sachin can be given Bharata ratna for his acting skills, as he has claimed tax exemption on this ground. This greedy man has declared that his earnings are only from acting not cricket. What is the difference between him and other tax evaders? .
In order to save tax of around Rs 2 crore on income derived from doing TV commercials, Tendulkar told the Income Tax tribunal that acting, not cricket, is his profession. This is like Bollywood stars claiming concessions as cricketeer , just because they played a Sunday game, to generate money for a cause.
Sachin has to go a long way. India lost the game in which he scored his hundredth century, due to his pathetic strike rate —as in many other games.

And we all know the shabby way he treated his best buddy Vinod Kambli. Vinod Kambli's first class average is 60 which is higher than Sachin's 58.6, who has played lesser games. Here are the first class averages of the other paper tigers---- Dravid ( 55 ) , Lakshman ( 52 ), Ganguly ( 43 ) Azharuddin ( 51 ) Gavaskar ( 51) and Sehwag ( 49 )
And when did Sachin last win a match for India? Who cares for his centuries ?
More people on this planet know about an Indian called Anand, than an Indian called Sachin.
Sachin has a HUGE ego-- Anand has humility. He even said that the Bharat Ratna should go to Sachin.
