The list of Bharat Ratna awardees showcases three of the six Nehru-Gandhi family members in it.

Nehru got it in 1955, Indira got it in 1971 and Rajiv got it in 1991. In Home ministry site there is a note which says Bharat Ratna is awarded in recognition of exceptional service/performance of the highest order in any field of human endeavour. The recommendations for Bharat Ratna are made by the Prime Minister himself to the President.

Jawaharlal Nehru was the Prime Minister in 1955, Indira was in 1971.

That naturally leads to these questions?
