Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • The recent inclusion of **D Gukesh** in the **Khel Ratna awardees** for 2024 surprised many due to questions surrounding his eligibility.
  • Although Gukesh made history as the **youngest world chess champion** at 18, his victory occurred outside the recognized awards cycle.
  • Concerns were raised as Gukesh neither applied nor was recommended by the **All India Chess Federation**; his nomination seems to stem from an emotional decision by the government.
  • The **sports ministry** has declined to comment on the rationale behind the decision, despite previous applications by Olympic medallists being overlooked.
  • The situation highlights a potential **political influence** in award nominations and reveals inconsistencies in the selection criteria.
