Bharat Ratn for whom?

One Free WordPress Plugin Doubled My Blogs Traffic and My List Size

I have two deserving candidates for India’s highest civilian award Bharat Ratn. I have listed my views why I think these are most deserving candidates for Bharat Ratn. I do not consider any politician of any party deserving candidate for Bharat Ratn. Can you add more to this list?

Dr. Ashok Jhunjhunwala:

A firm believer that India needs Indian solutions, this professor at IIT, Madras goes beyond just teaching. Ashok Jhunjhunwala is an entrepreneur who has founded seven companies centering around new technology or innovations in existing technology. His TeNet group has incubated many telecom and banking products for rural markets, like a low-cost ATM and a remote medical diagnostic kit.
Inventor of Wireless Local Loop. Advised government to purchase the under water sea cable when was on the VSNL board thus today India is self dependent in the field of Internet.

And the interesting part about this person is, he is still an IIT Madras professor living in IIT Madras campus, uses Bajaj super for commuting withing campus, not a CEO of a Multi National Company or a millionaire. He does not own a car.

प्रिय हिन्दू, मै डॉक्टर झुनझुनवाला के विषय में १९९९ में जानने लगा, मैंने उन्हें एक सेमिनार में सुना और लगा की इस व्यक्ति के पास भारत के लिए एक सपना है, और तब से मैंने निरंतर इनका अध्ययन किया| और मेरे जो समझ आया की, इस व्यक्ति की क्षमता और दूरदृष्टि से भारत का अत्यधिक फायदा हो चुका है और होता रहेगा| एक उदहारण मै और देना दूंगा, इन्होने, IIT के सहयोग से IIT के पूर्व छात्र छात्रों के साथ कुछ टेलिकॉम कंपनी शुरू की, जिससे भारत के ये प्रतिभाशाली छात्र भारत में ही रहे| कुछ ऐसी कंपनी MIDAS COM, BANYAN NETWORK, NILGIRI, NMS WORKS और ऐसी कुल ९ कंपनी है|
Dear Mukul, There are many more such people who work for no selfish cause but for the nation and humanity. Like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Mother Teresa. Then less meda fame Sunderlal Bahuguna of Chipko Andolan, Famous Indian nuclear experimental physicist Dr. Harish Chandra Verma. I was trying to collect suggestions from the Yahoo users, because I want to send ONE name to Presidnet and Prime Minister through my not for profit social cause organization as a request. So far these two names are on the top of the list.
FRIENDS, REQUEST TO PLEASE SUGGEST ONLY NON-POLITICIANS. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
AND ALSO PLEASE POST YOUR VIEWS WHY THAT INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE AWARDED WITH BHARAT-RATN WITH FACTS. WHAT THAT INDIVIDUAL HAS DONE FOR THE NATION?
Thank-you gayemala and ap, Mr. Nagavara Ramarao Narayana Murthy is defienetely a potential candidate.

Thanks Let the world live in peace, for your suggestion on Mr. Ratan Tata. But I think you have given the answer yourself. Most of the projects for social cause are started by JRD not by Mr. Ratan Tata. And I also think, Mr. Ratan Tata will be anyways awarded by Bharat Ratn, in future by Indian government as he is a big media fame too. I admire him a lot personally.
SO FAR I HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL SUGGESITONS, MR NARAYAN MOORTHI AND MR. RATAN TATA. GUYS, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

the name of N.R.Narayana murthy of infosys can also be considered.
