Unkil, despite our ardent desire to get you the Bharat Ratna for your sterling contributions to Hinduism, Carvaka and I have failed to make any impression with the fukular Hindu-hating CONgoon dispensation.

But here's a golden opportunity for you. The BJP wants to take away Sen's BR and the good prof is ready to return it if Vajpayee asks. So why don't you just ask Vajpayee to instruct Sen to hand over the BR to you? You gain the Bharat Ratna. Amartya Sen gains the freedom to diss the BJP some more. And Hindutva gains a befitting intellectual icon in you. Win win all around.

Merlot, don't waste your time trying to get me a Bharat Ratna .... I don't have a place to hang it or keep it safely.

No, no Unkil. Don't be so hard-hearted. Please don't deny Hindutva the intellectual leadership it deserves.

 Meanwhile, we will try and get you and Carvaka fukular-B-ratna ASAP since CONwallahs won't be in power for too long (unless they bribe K'nidhi, Soren's son, Mulayam, Laloo, et al.).

Was ever a prestigeous award like a Bharat Ratna, or a Nobel ever taken back? I've heard of Congressional Medal of Honors being returned - voluntarily, however, but no one was asked to give it up.
Also, I know Mahatma Gandhi was not awarded a Nobel, but did he receive a Bharat Ratna, or was it not even instituted before his death?

LOL. I am sorry to disappoint you and your Hindutva colleagues.

Sevaji, are you trying to change teams so the UPA government will finally recognize your contributions that the NDA government ignored? If so, I must say it's the best move you have made in years.

I am not sure and I have no patience to google.

Still, I hope they did not /do not give Barat Ratna to Gandhi and make him part of the crowd of the scoundrels.

Bharat Ratna is at the Rajiv Gandhi-MGR level, not at the original Gandhi level.
