Question - 245

Today's question is courtesy Rajesh K. Identify all the images and connect the two rows.

Answer: The people are Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Ustad Vilayat Khan and Romila Thapar. The awards shown in the bottom are Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan. These people (in that order and among others) have turned down these awards for various reasons. Vetti, Iam and Rajesh got it while Adi came close. Well done.
