That's how it's pronounced but I think this is the official spelling. --Antorjal 07:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The highest literary award/honour?

The lead sentence of the article imputes to the nation (and its people) an award that belongs to a private organization, no matter how prestigious the award might be. Furthermore, it continues to display (as a result of edit-warring) the Indian honours and decoration template, thereby fudging the distinction between a nation's award and an award in the nation. All the other awards mentioned in that template are official awards of the Republic of India, which the Jnanpith Award is not. Its inclusion in that template is the equivalent of including the Booker Prize or the Whitbread Prize on the same template with the Victoria Cross. It is grossly inaccurate.
