Viswanathan Anand denied doctorate degree – Anand Indian citizenship questioned Posted: 24 Aug 2010 02:28 AM PDT
World chess champion Viswanathan Anand may have brought laurels to India many a time but doubts have been cast over his nationality, throwing a dampener on University of Hyderbad’s plans to honour Viswanathan Anand with a doctorate. The human resource development ministry at the centre has withheld clearance for the University’s proposal to honour Anand along with renowned mathematician David Mumford of Harvard University, coinciding with the International Conference on Mathematics currently on here. A livid Aruna Anand, wife of the champion, has written a furious note to organisers of the ongoing International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad who have been lobbying for the award to the chess grandmaster, a conference organizer confirmed. The University of Hyderabad decided in 2009 to award Anand and four others – including noted mathematician David Mumford and theatre personality Ebrahim Alkazi — honorary doctorates. The university did not specify either the date for the award, or that there were any foreign citizens among the awardees, the sources said. All foreign awardees have to be approved by the Ministry of External Affairs. When the HRD Ministry twice prompted the university with these queries, it was informed that Anand – who lives with his wife in Spain – is a Spanish citizen. But it still did not inform the Ministry that it needed the approval urgently as the awards ceremony was to be held on Monday. Mathematicians at the Congress in Hyderabad who learnt about the university’s stance on Anand’s citizenship intervened, and wrote to Aruna who responded by sending a terse email and a copy of Anand’s passport. The HRD Ministry finally concluded that Anand is indeed an Indian citizen, but sources said that university vice-chancellor, Seyed E Hasnain belived that he does not holding Indian citizenship.

While Raksha Bandhan is celebrated all over the country, different parts of the country mark the day in different ways. These celebrations happen to fall on the same day, and may not have anything to do with Raksha Bandhan itself or Rakhi.People often sing the popular hindi song "Bhaiya mere, Rakhi ke bandhan ko nibhaana" (My dear brother, please hold on to this sacred relationship of ours, forever and ever.) Today Raksha Bandhan/ Rakhi festival is celebrated all over the world by Indian communities on August 24, 2010. Brothers and sisters who live in India do come together to celebrate the festival along with their families and enjoy it in a party together. Sisters, if they are living abroad and can not pay a personal visit to their brothers' for the occasion, send Rakhis to India for brothers which they get tied on their wrist on behalf of their sisters and send return gifts to sisters wherever. Likewise, if brothers are living abroad and are not in position to visit their sisters in India, they send Rakhi gifts to India. There are many online gift portals (e rakhi) making it easy for brothers and sisters both to send Rakhis to India or send Rakhi gifts to India. Some of these portals have become very popular among Indian communities abroad by offering them everything that they may need to celebrate Raksha Bandhan perfectly. Some are really offering very good collection of fancy Rakhis to India which no one can resist to buy. If you are a non resident Indian and looking for some fancy Rakhis on Raksha Bandha, do explore it on your computer first.
