Padma Awards 2026: Honour or Political Strategy? | Faith And The Right To Enter Holy Cities | News9

Описание: India celebrates its 77th Republic Day amid discussions on Padma Awards and faith-based entry rules at holy cities. Controversy surrounds the 2026 Padma Awards, with questions raised over political timing, poll-bound state patterns, and the balance between merit and electoral optics, featuring awardees like V.S. Achuthanandan, Shibu Soren, and others. Simultaneously, Uttarakhand proposes restricting entry to non-Hindus at major temples and sacred ghats, including Gangotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Haridwar, and Rishikesh, sparking debates on religious tradition, secularism, and tourism impact. Leaders including CM Pushkar Singh Dhami and opposition figures like Harish Rawat weigh in, highlighting tensions between heritage, faith, and modern governance. This coverage explores both the politics of national honours and the evolving rules at India’s sacred sites.
