For some reason, I am unable to insert a quote in this post.

Yeah, I heard that he made it to the shortlist and he will undoubtedly win sooner or later, because he is highly respected in the field.
The Padma honours are very prestigious and are given for extraordinary achievement to civilians in various fields, like sports, literature, arts, etc.
It is like the honours system in the UK given by the Queen.
The highest honour that can be given to a civilian is the Bharat Ratna. Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar have one.
The second highest honour is the Padma Vibhushan for "exceptional and distinguished service".
The third highest honour is the Padma Bhushan for "distinguished service of a high order".
The fourth highest honour is the Padma Shri, awarded for "distinguished service".
It is very difficult for artists to get Padma Bhushan and above.
National Awards recognise achievement in a particular year, whereas the Padma Honours and Bharat Ratna recognise achievement over the entire career of an individual.
