Mr Madhusudan, Any un bias with a little bit of GRAY MATTER will accept that Mr Vajpayee did contribute plenty for the political life of our country confining within his conviction and ideology Swami Vivekananda was a great crusedor for the HINDUISM under the belt of clear mind with his own conviction and ideology.Can you call him parocial.My reasoning is simple for simple people who understand INDIAN Ethos where any person who contributes at and above a level of normal capacity need be rewarded.A man who has given more than fifty years of his life on any subject for the welbeing of the people of the country deserve rightful place.You may differ. I strongly feel that Mr Vajpayee deserve Bharat Ratna.
