Bharat Ratna for Tendulkar?

I hope... here:

"A strong case to the effect has already been made, declared Mumbai [ Images ] MP Sanjay Nirupam at an initiative 'Support My School', a movement to build healthy, happy and active schools in Mumbai, which Tendulkar is the campaign ambassador.

The demands from various quarters - including politicians and ex-cricketers -- had intensified after Tendulkar became the first player in the history of cricket to score a double hundred in One-Day Internationals -- achieving the feat against at Gwalior outh Africa in February last year. The demand attained gargantuan proportion late last year -- after he recorded his 50th ton in Tests.

If the 37-year-old eventually receives the honour, it will mark yet another first for him -- for he will become the first sportsman to be awarded the prestigious honour."
