After reading his biography, there is no doubt that he deserves Bharat Ratna award. But should he be given the award by this government? Why not Bal Gangadhar Tilak? Many freedom fighters deserve Bharat Ratna awards. Even without those awards they are regarded as great national leaders. Madan Mohan Malaviya was chosen by this government that represents a different ideology as he is a symbol for their ideology. He presided over the first meeting of Hindu Mahasabha. The rise of BJP to power for the fourth time in post independent India shows that the society has accepted the rationale of their argument. Of course, still the society wants them to develop a peaceful multireligious India where everyone can prosper and live happily.<br /><br />Of course, we also have to recognize that persons belonging to other ideologies and political parties keep criticizing the actions of the present government and the party in power for its actions in the light of their ideological focus.Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00137977090611542246noreply@blogger.com
