Viswanathan Anand's nationality questioned
Three-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand is known to take opponents by surprise with the speed of his moves, but the move by the Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry, asking him if he is an Indian citizen, was a bolt from the blue. This was after the Hyderabad University and the maths congress wanted to confer an honorary doctorate on Anand which needed the approval of the HRD ministry.
