Feels refreshing to hear in the sports bulletin of the news channels dominated by IPL few weeks ago,the scintillating news of India's greatest sportsman ever(debatable?) winning the world championship 5th time which is no mean achievement. So it has again popped up the dormant question - Is he the better contender of Bharat Ratna than nation's most revered and followed sports person -Sachin Tendulkar?
Chess, however boring it may seem to watch is the game of intangible mental strength. Anand has won the world championship which is played by 185 countries which makes this achievement unique.Anand has virtually broken the monopoly of Russia in the world chess circuit and established India among one of the top chess playing nations with his numerous titles.Above all, he is a thorough gentleman in the sporting circle around the world with his humble and down to earth nature and has inspired the nation to take up this greatest game of board seriously.
Though this doesn't undermine what Sachin has achieved over the years, its high time that this most underrated sports person gets his due along with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Dhyanchand.The government should consider adding Vishwanathan Anand to the list of candidates for Bharat Ratna
