Bharat Ratna has lost its appeal. I feel pity for those who demand it for achievers who primerily excel for reasons of commercial gains (let's not forget this basic motive, collateral reason could be national pride). Similarly those who demanded this award for people of calibre like Subhash and Patel did injustice to them. If you check who all have received Bharat Ratna for political reasons it would be difficult to place Patel with them. Such honor should be reserved for very very exceptional persons and need not be given frequently but very rarely to maintian it's exclusivity. There are many more awards to choose from , for players, actors and politicians.
