Dhyan Chand Bharat Ratna nominee!

Ministry recommends hockey legend Dhyan Chand

In January 2012, the ministry had forwarded the names of Dhyan Chand, shooter Abhinav Bindra and mountaineer Tenzing Norgay for Bharat Ratna. Incidentally, Tendulkar's name was missing as BCCI had not recommended his name.
