Big question mark on Nobel prize for peace : Why Gandhi was ignored ?

Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) has become the strongest symbol of non-violence in the 20th century. It is widely held – in retrospect – that the Indian national leader should have been the very man to be selected for the Nobel Peace Prize. He was nominated several times, but was never awarded the prize. Why?
These questions have been asked frequently: Was the horizon of the Norwegian Nobel Committee too narrow? Were the committee members unable to appreciate the struggle for freedom among non-European peoples?" Or were the Norwegian committee members perhaps afraid to make a prize award which might be detrimental to the relationship between their own country and Great Britain?

Gandhi was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and, finally, a few days before he was murdered in January 1948. The omission has been publicly regretted by later members of the Nobel Committee; when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989, the chairman of the committee said that this was "in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi". However, the committee has never commented on the speculations as to why Gandhi was not awarded the prize, and until recently the sources which might shed some light on the matter were unavailable.

Gandhian Ideologist and Philosopher Naresh Kadyan, animal rights activist comes forward to raised this issue with the consultation of former Chairman of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (Govt. of India) Shri Laxmidas, Chairman, National Khadi and Village Industries Board's Employees Federation (An apex body of all State KVIB's Employees Unions).

Comment by Naresh Kadyan on October 18, 2009 at 1:40pm: मोहनदास कर्मचंद गांधी और एलफ्रेड नोबेल दोनों ही अब इस दुनिया में नहीं हैं। लेकिन एक विवाद में दोनों का नाम शामिल है। विवाद इस बात पर है कि क्या गांधी को नोबेल पुरस्कार नहीं मिलना चाहिए? गांधी शांति और अहिंसा के दूत माने जाते हैं। उनके जन्म दिवस दो अक्टूबर को अब विश्व अहिंसा दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता है। अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति बराक ओबामा जब-तब गांधी को अपना आदर्श बताते रहते हैं। ये सभी बातें गांधी की महान शख़्सियत पर मुहर लगाती हैं। लेकिन गांधी की उपलब्धि में लोग एक कमी देखते हैं। गांधी को नोबेल शांति पुरस्कार नहीं मिला। उन्हें नोबेल पुरस्कारों के लिए पांच बार नामित किया गया, लेकिन अलग-अलग वजहों से उन्हें पुरस्कार के क़ाबिल नहीं माना गया। अब नोबेल फाउंडेशन भी अपनी ग़लती को मानता है कि गांधी को नोबेल न देना एक भूल थी। कुछ गांधी समर्थकों की मांग है कि कम से कम अब गांधी को नोबेल पुरस्कार देकर फाउंडेशन भूल-सुधार कर ले। सवाल उठता है कि क्या वाकई गांधी को नोबेल पुरस्कार की ज़रूरत है? क्या नोबेल पुरस्कार मिलने के बाद गांधी की महानता में एकाध स्टार और बढ़ जाएंगे। दरअसल गांधी जितने महान थे, वो उतने ही रहेंगे। उसमें किसी तरह की कमी इसलिए नहीं हो सकती क्योंकि अब वो जीवित नहीं हैं। रही बात उनकी महानता को सम्मान देने की, तो अगर उन्हें नोबेल मिल जाए तो अच्छा ही है, और अगर न मिले तो भी कोई बुराई नहीं है। अक्सर हम भारतीय नोबेल, ऑस्कर और बुकर जैसे अंतर्राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कारों या सम्मानों को बेवजह ज़्यादा तूल दे देते हैं। हम भूल जाते हैं कि विदेशों में लोग इस बात की बिल्कुल परवाह नहीं करते कि उनके किसी नागरिक को गांधी अंतर्राष्ट्रीय शांति सम्मान मिला या नहीं। तो फिर हम उस शख़्स के नाम पर मिलने वाले पुरस्कार की चिंता क्यों करे जिसने दुनिया को डायनामाइट जैसी विध्वंशक चीज़ दी। दरअसल कुछ लोग नोबेल पुरस्कार को किसी शख़्स की महानता का पैमाना मानते हैं, जो मेरे विचार से सही नहीं। अगर ऐसा होता तो गांधी को अपना आदर्श मानने वाले ओबामा गांधी से बड़े शांति दूत होते क्योंकि ओबामा को नोबेल पुरस्कार मिल चुका है। जिस तरह हर साल चुनी जाने वाली मिस वर्ल्ड दुनिया की सबसे ख़ूबसूरत महिला नहीं कही जा सकती। ऑस्कर जीतने वाले से बड़ा कलाकार दुनिया में नहीं है, ये नहीं कहा जा सकता, नोबेल भी किसी की महानता को तय करने का सही और अंतिम पैमाना नहीं माना जाना चाहिए।

As at Wardha,
C. P.,
23-7-'39

Dear friend,

Friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity. But I have resisted their request, because of the feeling that any letter from me would be an impertinence. Something tells me that I must not calculate and that I must make my appeal for whatever it may be worth.

It is quite clear that you are today the one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to a savage state. Must you pay that price for an object however worthy it may appear to you to be? Will you listen to the appeal of one who has deliberately shunned the method of war not without considerable success? Any way I anticipate your forgiveness, if I have erred in writing to you.

I remain,

Your sincere friend

M. K. Gandhi
