Indian government today announced the awards for Padma shri, Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan. Greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Vishwanath Anand, added feather in their cap by getting Padma Vibhushan awards. Edmund Hilary won the Padma Vibhushan posthumously. Footballer Baichung Bhutia won Padma Shri award. Swimmer Balu Chowdry was named for Padma Shri award. It has to be noted that Padma Vibhushan is the second highest civilian honor conferred on any Indian only next to Bharath Ratna. However this year also Bharath Ratna was not conferred on anyone due to the controversies surrounding its nominations.
