Padmasri, Padma Bushan are not worthy these days

I come to know tht Bhanu Athaiya was the First Indian to Get an Oscar, She got for the Best costume designer category for the film Gandhi which released in 1982 directed by Richard Attenborough (For those who don't know anything about him..he is none other than our Jurassic park "thatha")

There was no media support to chant Bhanu's name during 1980's And most importantly common public doesn't even know that there is a women named Bhanu Athaiya who bring first Oscar to our home I advice to our railway recruitment board should ask a question :

Who was the first Indian to win an Oscar award?"

And in options if they give:

a) Bhanu athiytha b) AR Rahman c)Resul pookutty d)sathyajith ray

90% of them will choose wrong answers by choosing B or C and 9% might go for D and Hardly 1% of people will be chosen the option A

And I also come to know still now our Indian Government not honored her by giving either padma shri nor padma bushan But film fare honored her by giving life time achievement award. Yesterday Oscar winner Resul pookutty got a padma shri and even a Doctorate due to the media hype all he got in this media era. but there are n number of people in India who not received their honor by our government due to various political reasons.

I think government give awards to get a fame for their party and themselves so choosing the people only who have big fame and popularity in that particular part of time rather than considering their works, achievements and talents So only people like Saif ali khan getting padma shri for roaming around with karenna kapoor and showing his six pack abs in a movies and another height of comedy is that he also got an national award for the movie "hum tum"

And its a shame when they give award "padma bushan" to Illayaraja and AR Rahman at a time. How come they not knew the talent of IR all these days? He literally ruled south India by his music more than 25 years Its bcoz he didn't work in hindhi films like rahman did But that doesnt diminish the talents of IR.

Most of the times Hindi'ans are getting recolonization easily than an "Indian's"

We most of them would have watched Rahman's Oscar moments "n" number of times in TV channels and even crazily shouted "Jai ho" But a man named "sathyajith ray" made a wonderful "Indian" films through out his life and won a hearts of people around the world and made them say "jai ho" to sathyajith ray

Here is the glorious achievement of an Indian cinema
