Arjuna Awards to Chess Players - Drought of 7 years

These people work so hard . They fight for our country. Moreover in issues like internet vidit bhaiya lost and became india no. 3 Still he had such sportsmanship that he was happy for his teammates. And people like vidit ,harikrishna , humpy ,etc. deserve not only arjuna award but even bharat ratna award They are real gems for our country If we can respect sachin , dhoni,virat, Mary Kom , vijendra Kumar, yuvraj,babita phogat,Geeta phogat ,etc. We have to respect these players They are brilliant and there brilliance need recognition and awards Moreover please give dronacharya award to coaches. They have done so much in shaping these gems and they don't get anything. I would request please please please make arjuna for chess and dronacharya for chess too It is a humble request by a fellow Indian who wants chess to be a sport where everyone tries and thinks that they can think of a future in this beautiful game . From a person who just loves chess - Manmeet Singh
