| | The Globalist Global History -- Mahatma Gandhi: A Peaceful, Ignoble Oversight? |
 | | Gandhi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize five times — in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and, only days before he was assassinated, in 1948. | | | Although it is widely held that Gandhi should have been the ideal candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, until now, the Committee has not revealed the exact reasons for his omission. | | | The denial of the prize to Gandhi invited worldwide controversy that is still being debated today. |

| | Falnes, Norway and the Nobel Peace Prize, pp.208, 256. | | | Gandhi had been legally nominated within the time-frame laid down in the Statutes and the nomination was not invalidated because of his death; why then was he not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 1948? | | | However the assertion that Gandhi was "deprived" of the 1937 Peace Prize due to British pressure is a serious charge and, as with Abrams' insinuation that racism may have been the motivating force behind Gandhi's omission, may contain more than a grain of truth. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Guardian daily comment Ignoble peace prize |
| | The Nobel peace prize, however, is not just for old war criminals. | | | The prize was inspired by Alfred Nobel's secretary, Bertha von Suttner, who was nominated four times (nothing to do, of course, with Alfred being deeply in love with her) and was the first female winner in 1905. | | | What is particularly startling about the peace prize is just how many of its recipients have been men, generally regarded as more the more bloodthirsty of the sexes. |

| | Nobel Prize/Peace - definition of Nobel Prize/Peace in Encyclopedia |
| | The Nobel Peace Prize (where Nobel is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable) is one of five Nobel Prizes bequested by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. | | | Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, the Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to persons or organizations that are in the process of resolving an issue, rather than upon the resolution of the issue. | | | While the Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Literature Prizes are awarded annually in Stockholm, the Peace Prize is awarded in the Norwegian capital of Oslo. |

| | The Nobel Institute report, by Belgian researcher Peter van den Dungen, says the Nobel Peace prize was one of the first general awards for peace, breaking with a 19th century tradition of essay-writing about peace. | | | Others, like the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought awarded by the European Parliament since 1985, could claim wider legitimacy than the Nobel Peace Prize, which is decided by just five Norwegians named by Norway's parliament. | | | Among other peace prizes are the Indian government's Gandhi International Peace Prize, the U.S. National Peace Essay Contest for high school students or the U.N. Security Council's Dag Hammarskjold medal for those killed in U.N. peacekeeping missions. |

| | Manas: History and Politics, Mahatma Gandhi and the Nobel Peace Prize |
| | Mohandas Gandhi, the Mahatma, the Great Soul, was never awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. | | | When all is said and done, most middle-class Indians, the Indians who are keen on such forms of adulation from the West and believe that score-keeping in these arenas is a worthy way of measuring the progress made by nations and individuals alike, would be delighted to see Gandhi being awarded the peace prize posthumously. | | | (The Peace Prize alone is conferred by a committee of the Norwegian Parliament; the other awards are handed out by a Swedish committee.) Some Indians imagine that racist sentiments prevented Gandhi from receiving this signal honor, and they are doubtless right -- to a degree. |
