People can go to any extent to extract political mileage. Now that Sachin has achieved another milestone, and of course it deserves highest accolades of cricketing world, politicians are out with their full might like the sprawling hawkers all around.
The Bharat Ratna is awarded in 'recognition of exceptional service towards the advancement of art, literature, science and public service of the highest order since it was established on October 2, 1954 by President Dr Rajendra Prasad, and the likes of Mother Teresa, Netaji Bose, Pandit Ravi are some of the distinguised honourees, one should not get carried away in the moment of ecstasy. No doubt cricket in India is no less than any ritualistic religion, but only with our understanding of its rightful place in life. will keep politician-hawkers at bay.
Let's maintain the dignity of our civilian honours.
