... and the Bharat Ratna goes to...

Lal Krishna Advani must have known it very well that he was sparking an issue which was far beyond the question of Atal Behari Vajpayee getting the Bharat Ratna. Ofcourse Advani would not care whether Vajpayee actually receives it, for in the past people much more important than what Vajpayee is today haven't even got so much as an Advani advocating their contribution towards the Nation's development.
Now, let us have a look at some of the names which make me, if not you all when you read it, wonder if the award be named Congress Ratna. And by 'Congress' I dont mean the political party, I mean the thinking that is 'Congress' in its essence.
1. Mahatma Gandhi didnt get the Bharat Ratna. Any congressman reading this, please tell me why.
2. Dr. Radhakrishnan, however good and non-partisan like he must have been, he still belonged to the Congress.
3. C. Rajagopalachari, however acceptable to the British and elite Indian he must have been, he also was associated with the Congress.
4. Bhagwan Das, here also I'm not doubting anything about the man who was unquestionable, but he was also a Congressman.
5. Jawaharlal Nehru, who would easily be defeated today if any of our media channels conducted a debate to ask the Indians to choose between Nehru and Sardar Patel. Incidentally there is something that would be opposite of what it was in 1947, then the Congress wanted Patel, as the Prime Ministerial candidate, and now the Congress would, well Sonia would, well Ambika Soni and A.K. Antony and the likes would, say that Nehru was the best available person.
6. G.B. Pant, again a popular leader, again somebody I cant say shouldn't have got the award, but then being a prominent Congressman would have had something do with it, methinks.
7. B.C. Roy, a Congressman, and West Bengal's Chief Minister, I'm sure must have done a lot a non-partisan work to get the award.
8.
