Why Gandhi Doesnt
have BharatRatna?
It is Not Awarded Because As Whole country
will accept he is the Father of Nation There is
No Certification Needed
Subhas Chandra Bose
The Indian government issued a communique in 1992 that Bharat Ratna would be conferred on Subhas Chandra
Bose posthumously. The Supreme Court of India later cancelled this communique following a public interest
litigation filed against the posthumous nature of the award due to the mystery surrounding the death of Subhas
Chandra Bose. The government gave an affidavit that in deference to the sentiments expressed by the public
and the Bose family, the government did not proceed to confer the award.

Abul Kalam Azad
The award was offered to freedom fighter and India's first Minister of Education, Abul Kalam Azad, he promptly
declined it saying that it should not be given to those who have been on the selection committee. Later he was
awarded posthumously in 1992.

Sachin Tendulkar
Following the award for Sachin Tendulkar, an RTI activist wrote to the Election Commission of India that the
declaration was a violation of the model code of conduct. The petitioner suggested that since Tendulkar was a
Congress nominated MP, the decision to award him the Bharat Ratna would influence the voters of Delhi,
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram where the election process was underway.[12] But the
Election Commission rejected the petition stating that conferring the award on people belonging to non-poll
going states did not amount to a violation of the code.

This is Saying That Hard Work In our Interest
Field and Service to Nation We make us Stand
in Middle of Such a Great People
Hope We Will Got Some Inspiration From
Those
