That's how it's pronounced but I think this is the official spelling. --Antorjal 07:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The lead sentence of the article imputes to the nation (and its people) an award that belongs to a private organization, no matter how prestigious the award might be. Furthermore, it continues to display (as a result of edit-warring) the

Please read your own reference completely. Felowsip is heighest of "IT'S" awards (Sahithya Academy's) not India's. Whether it is given by a begger or the president it is undisputedly the highest honour. http://www.hindu.com/2007/01/26/stories/2007012615980300.htm. ~rAGU (talk)

• I am currently working on lists and articles from
  Template:Indian honours and decorations to get to GA/FA/FL. Came across this one and realized that its by a private firm like Filmfare and thus not an official Government given award. I believe this should be removed from the template and also should be cleaned for being "highest literary award" as claimed by their site.

  • Don't think removing from the template is necessary. All the Lit/arts/s&t awards are either non-governmental or pseudo-governmental, I don't think Jnanpith or Sangeet Natak are comparable to Filmfare. The latter is a purely commercial award. —SpacemanSpiff 14:52, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I disagree with SS here and agree with ages old opinion of F&F that the award should be removed from the
      Indian honours system itself adding references to all those awards. Then it would be easy for you to work on the revised template. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:24, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply

I don't necessarily disagree, but my point is that some are quasi government - Sahitya, some semi government - SSB, some non government - Jnanpith. Unlike the UK, India doesn't have a rigorous honours system, so maybe a rename to central govt awards and splitting to thematic templates is the way to go. —SpacemanSpiff 07:05, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the state mentioned in the recipient's table? And how does it matter? This award is not given for coming from a certain state. Language of the work matters. I am removing that. If you object, speak here. §§

Please do, I removed it earlier from Bharat Ratna too as there's been significant edit wars over "born in", "resident of", "died in" etc. —SpacemanSpiff 15:43, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence of paragraph 2 includes the words "a cash prize of ₹1 lakh (equivalent to ₹48 lakh or US$73,000" and the first sentence of paragraph 3 includes the words "the cash prize has been revised to ₹11 lakh (equivalent to ₹12 lakh or US$18,000". How is one lakh of rupees equivalent to 48 lakh of rupees or 11 lakh of rupees equivalent to 12 lakh of rupees? This is strictly India, so it's all Indian rupees, so what's the deal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curmudgeonly Pedant (talk • contribs) 02:01, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is because rupee has depreciated compared to USD since 1965. - Vivvt (Talk) 04:08, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
