Delighted to see Cho's name in the Padma award..He deserved the award much earlier...Yesudas getting the award is a recognition for Carnatic music as well as Classical music...TK Murthy, Mridangam maestro also gets the award...But he is 92 years..He should have got the award much earlier...Anyway it is better late than never
Mariappan from TN is very deserving awardee..He got us the Gold in Rio 2016 Paralympics
Why is Sharad Pawar getting...He is corrupt to the core..May be BJP wants to keep him in good humor in case Shiv Sena ditches them in Maharashtra!!
Heartiest Congratulations to all the awardees!!
