Do you feel that the winners are mostly party loyalists who have put in their time?

Who are these people? Why have we not heard their names save a few? What has Kajol done other than work in cheesy tearjerkers? What is Brajesh Mishra known for other than the Kandahar Hijacking? What about Montek Ahluwalia who had his couple of days in the early 1990s but has not done anything in the last decade. Are these people getting felicitated for the sake of filling in some quota of winners?Then we come to a report where a DIG from UP who was given President’s Police Medal. As it says in the following report: The officer was recently transferred from the city for showing laxity in supervising the investigation into September 27 rape and murder case of 11-year-old Kanpur student. Do these awards really mean anything to anyone except the winners?
