Sachin Tendulkar is going to be given the Bharat Ratna, which is India's highest civilian honour. The announcement was made after Tendulkar played his 200th and final Test.

However, a case has been filed against his selection and Tendulkar has also been made party to it. There have been a lot of debates and discussions about the selection. The main contention has been that he has been awarded the Bharat Ratna before Dhyan Chand, the legendary hockey player.

Tendulkar became the first sportsman to be awarded the Bharat Ratna and is also the youngest to receive it. The case is rather startling given the popularity Tendulkar enjoys in India.
