Who among the following is NOT a Bharat Ratana awardee?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) - Shyam Prasad Mukherjee
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, while a prominent Indian political figure and the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (a precursor to the Bharatiya Janata Party), has not been conferred the Bharat Ratna, which is India's highest civilian award. Therefore, he is not a recipient of the Bharat Ratna. The other individuals listed—Morarji Desai, M.G. Ramachandran, and Vinoba Bhave—are all recipients of the Bharat Ratna.
