Exclusion of Manu Bhaker from the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Shortlist. It is disheartening to witness the exclusion of Manu Bhaker, a double medalist at the Paris Olympics 2024, from the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna shortlist. Such an omission raises concerns about the transparency and criteria of the selection process for India’s highest sporting honor. Manu Bhaker’s extraordinary performance on the global stage has brought immense pride to the nation. Her dedication, resilience, and success exemplify the spirit of Indian athletes who work tirelessly to bring laurels to the country. Failing to recognize such talent could discourage many aspiring athletes and undermine the significance of these awards. We urge the government to review this matter with utmost sincerity and transparency. Justice must prevail to ensure that deserving sportspersons like Manu Bhaker are duly acknowledged for their contributions to Indian sports. We expect swift action to uphold fairness and ensure the credibility of the nation’s sports honors. Justice for Manu Bhaker (Concerned Citizens and Sports Enthusiasts)
