Good to see awards covering diverse fields from science to arts. But I hope the selection process is completely transparent and merit-based. Sometimes these spiritual awards can feel a bit insular. Just a thought.

As someone living in India for work, I find this fascinating. It blends ancient tradition with modern achievement. The presence of the Defence Minister shows the government's support for such cross-sectoral recognition.

Bharat Bhushan is a perfect name for the award. We need more platforms that celebrate our heroes beyond just cricket and movies. Scientists, artists, and community workers deserve this spotlight.

Heartwarming to read about Vidushi N Rajam being honoured with her family's involvement. That's true *sanskaar* – passing the legacy of art and devotion to the next generation. More power to her!
