Is he Aryabhatta or Chankaya or PrithviRaj Chauhan or Ghalib? The manner in which these decorations are being distributed to politicians and their chamchas is sickening.In fact all active politicians having enjoyed power should be completely banned from getting any such awards much less bharat ratna? Polticis is merely a tool to run administration of a scoeity.We are giving too much importantce and coverage to these type of guys.Tomorrow you will ask for Bharat ratna for Ramdev and Rahul gandhi and all kinds of people live or dead.In any case every citizen is 'Aakhon ka tara' of mother India. Agar Vajpayee ko dena hei to pehle mujhko bhee bhee do.

Indira Gandhi's emergency was in response to a particular need of the hour. Indira Gandhi was a much better PM than Vajpayee. The measures were draconian in many ways but let me know if any other alternative existed then

Not Indira Gandhi but the myopism of the center's policy for any region that didn't have a lobby in center. Not just sikhs, but even NE,Kashmir, telengana,orissa, the destruction of Bengal's economy (aided by SS Ray and left) all have suffered

Hahhaha........particular need of the hour.......what was that need.....saving her chair despite an adverse court ruling.....and have you heard of Shri. Jayprakash Narayan, who was also from your State?? The Emergency lasted for about 2 years or so only. Did our Country not exist till then and after that also? Even without a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family being PM for nearly 15 years??? When will the Congress stooges stop bluffing??? Spinelss guys cannot find even one Indian worth leading them.....and had to ultimately depend upon a poor Italian widow !!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Maoism and NE issues. Let us read the history correctly. Of course vested interests are there. JP from my state? I am from WB. I still admire JP very much and many other national figures. Yes there was subversion of many institutes of the state in the emergency. Dynasty worship is unfortunate in India and we are seeing these issues.
Yeah the need of the hour for declaration of Emergency was defeat of Congress in Gujarat, Allahabad High Court Decision and Intelligence Report that Indira will loose the elections. Indira the better PM! One who robbed our freedom and threw millions into jail for no rhyme or reason.

On think is sure Prof Gupta... whether you like it or not, if congress has its way.. Sonia and Rahul both will get Bharat Ratna and no one will even wonder why (dynasty)..
So sad that people cannot just appreciate the good a person has done.. First throw mud.
I am also sure given a chance you would also ask for the PM's Chair. Will you not, irrespective whether you are eligible or not.
