I fully agree with you about Sri P V Narasimha Rao’s eligibility to be a Laureate. I would like to mention another great man who was never awarded the Bharat Ratna, Sri M Bala Murali Krishna. Many other musicians who neither composed original kritis nor wrote the lyrics have been so recognized while the only Vaggeyakara of modern times has been ignored.
