Can’t we do something without any controversy?

Would it be possible to do any good deed without creating a controversy? The instant case refers to the confusion created by someone with regard to conferment of an honorary doctorate on Viswanathan Anand, India’s own chess emperor of the world.
Hyderabad University, which is a Central varsity, wanted to honour Viswanathan Anand and another with a doctorate.

But the extra-curious officials raised a question whether Viswanathan Anand was an Indian, as he has been living in Spain for quite some time.
Cannot an Indian live some time in another country? Was there any doubt about Viswanathan Anand being an Indian when he used to bring laurels for the country in the chess field?

Things are apparently ridiculous, as one ponders over the issue. Thankfully Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal reacted quickly and set the doubts at rest and apologised to Viswanathan Anand and wanted him to accept the honour.
For the present he may not be able to receive it as he is preoccupied with his various championships. Let us hope he would receive the title and receive the honour.
