Why Mahatma Gandhi man of our century never got Nobel price for peace?

Question

We have seen lesser known people got Nobel price. M.k. Gandhi got freedom for India with his non- violence movement and Ignited freedom movement in South africa and man of our century should have got Nobel peace award. We feel British Govt. played politics. At least now British govt. accept their mistake and honor him now with Nobel price.

Answer 1

BECAUSE EARLIER OUR RELATION WITH USA NOT GOOD AND THESE PRICE ONLY GIVEN ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF USA.

Answer 2

I'm afraid I see nothing admirable about Gandhi. He simply used the weaknesses of the British legal system in order to destroy the Empire. Had he lived under Stalin or Hitler his career would have been extremely short.
From the nationalist and sectarian point of view Mr Gandhi's work is nice indeed, but the real result is the 5 milion dead during the partition as well as 3 wars between Pakistan and India. Nothing of which would have happened if the "Raj" had still been part of the Empire. No threat of nuclear war either. Probably no threat from muslim extremists. No war in SriLanka.

Of course the Nobel prize has been awarded to stranger persons before. And I have no say in the matter. I am not a Brit, but I somehow do not think that the UK has any moral obligation to honour Gandhi in any way whatsoever.

Answer 3

The British tremendoulsy influenced the Awards Committee of the Nobel Prize that never made Gandhi a recipient of the coveted award.

Answer 4

Mahatma Gandhi was a very intelligent and very impressive personality of the century. He was very noble and very intellectual person. He was very much praised for non-violence and peace loving. He was assisted by Pandit Juwahar Lal Nehru who was also very nice and learned person. On the other hand Mohammad Ali Jinnah was also very intelligent and very judicious mined person. Both sailed in the same boat and non of them was awarded Noble Prize (Not price). These two personalities have gained so much respect in the mind of the people of the two countries (India and Pakistan), which is much much more than Noble Prize. As such I am inclined to think that British Govt. underplayed with these two personalities and they deserved Noble Prizes.

Answer 5

I think Mr. Gandhi died early, but I AM REALLY SURE, if he was a live by today or even 10+ years ago he would be nominated and win a Nobel Peace prize, if Mr. Nelson Mandela did he would too, because both men were in the same battle for the same goal.

Answer 6

you have a element there, yet what i think is that Mahatma Gandhi did no longer get Nobel Prize as he endorsed for the formation of a rustic. Albeit a pacesetter of billion+, his perfect thoughts for person became constrained to the political formation of a rustic, which probable he did no longer had mutually as in South Africa. yet, regardless of all this he became an astonishing character - a manner setter - a logician. He earned the utmost appreciate - it extremely is better than any Nobel Laurel.

Answer 7

My dear friend,
you are absolutely correct. In our Country most of the good things done by the people go unnoticed. Mahatma Gandhi is 100% deserved for Noble Prize,our country should not forget his service to the Nation,but God might have restricted his services to nation and serve heavenly bodies. Somehow he is lucky wthout seeing some of the atrocities prevailing now in our Country.

Answer 8

I totally agree with you. I'm not sure about the whole British Govt. conspiracy thing because I don't know enough about that, but Ghandi was an incredible, amazing, and inspiring man. I too would love to see him win a Nobel Peace Prize.

Answer 9

That is one of the mistakes, which has been accepted, by the Nobel Prize Committee, few days back.

Answer 10

The Nobel Peace prize is meaningless these days anyway. Hell, they gave one to Carter and they nominated one for Cindy Sheehan. Might as well give one to Saddam for all it means towards "peace." Sad but true...

Answer 11

Because he was not able to be given Nobel Prize.
