The decision to honour Vajpayee and Malviya with the prestigious Bharat Ratna signifies the importance of "Rishis' in policy making in India today.
The"Rishis" are essentially 'men of letters' and learning.Though scholarly,they are not armchair intellectuals but men of action.They strongly believe in applying universal valuesd to the reality and preserving the spirit of 'change with continuity'.
Vajpayee and Malviya are in the same tradition as Samarth Ramdas,Lincoln,Dayananda,Bankim,Lenin,Ambedkar,Dange and Narasimha Rao.Their very presence on the national scene is a tremendous source of inspiration to people.
