- Find out the reasons given by the Nobel Committee for quoting Gandhiji's name five times

The world's most eye-catching Nobel Peace Prize is set to be announced this Friday. Just four days ago, when the celebration of Gandhi Jayanti came to an end, the mind was again puzzled as to why the world's greatest human being, Mahatma Gandhi, was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In fact, if Gandhiji had been given this honor, the pride of the Nobel Prize would have increased. Even today, the reason for doubting the universality of the Nobel Prize is that Gandhiji himself was not awarded the Nobel Prize. What is the value of this prize? With a few exceptions from those who have won the Nobel Peace Prize so far in the history of the Nobel Prize, they seem to be as dwarfed as Gandhiji that in a way it may be that Gandhiji did not fit into such a list.

Those who became great on the way to Gandhi received the Nobel

Surprisingly, the great historical leaders who have publicly confessed that Gandhiji was our inspiration and that he has devoted his life to the cause of equal rights and dignity in the world by adopting the path of non-violence, the Dalai Lama The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Lama (18), Aung San Suu Kyi (191), Nelson Mandela (18) and Barack Obama (2004).

The Nobel Prize Committee has been asked many times why Gandhiji has been treated unfairly but they have officially refrained from giving a reason for this.

The committee did not want to offend the British?

What many may not know is that Gandhiji was nominated for the Nobel Prize not once but five times in the years 19, 18, 19, 19 and 19, but each time the then committee had a little discussion and put a cross on his name. From the fact that Gandhiji was nominated for three years in a row and then again for two years in a row, it became clear to what extent there would be global pressure on the Nobel Prize Committee to award the Nobel to Gandhiji. Gandhiji was helpless not only to be awarded the Nobel but also to be imprisoned in the record of the Nobel Prize.

One reason was that if Gandhiji was awarded the Nobel Prize, the British rulers would be offended and the world would believe that the Nobel Committee would accept the British practice of slavery in India. It is also believed that it was the British rulers who sent a message to Gandhiji not to give the Nobel Prize under any circumstances. When the 19th Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the Nobel Committee, for the first time, indirectly acknowledged his historic mistake by saying on the world stage: "We feel that this year's Nobel Prize for the Dalai Lama is an homage to Gandhi.

'Gandhiji not national but nationalist'

Gandhiji was nominated five times, so the committee must always discuss whether he is entitled to the Nobel. The report submitted by any committee member for or against the nominees is preserved as a document in writing in addition to the discussion. After 60 years of nomination, the record may be partially or completely disclosed by the committee if it so desires. Fifty years after Gandhiji's five-time nominee, some details have come out as to why Gandhiji was not awarded the Nobel Prize.

The article, written by the Nobel Foundation, states that Gandhiji's contribution was not in the global public interest, but that he fought non-violently for his principles, with his own citizens at the center for India. The Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded to a single country or its citizens. It was later added that Gandhiji was a nationalist and a patriot.

'Gandhiji is a dictatorial type of person'

Gandhi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Norway's Labor MP Ole Kolbernersen in the 19th century. . In the 180's, Friends of India was working in the United States and European countries with its branches in many countries to give voice to the contributions and questions of Indians in the countries of the world. There were also a large number of foreigners who were lovers of India and fighting for human rights.

A representative of such an organization and a Norwegian MP put Gandhiji's name before the Nobel Committee. Gandhiji was also among the 12 names shortlisted that year. Explaining the reason why the Nobel Prize could not be awarded to Gandhiji, committee member Professor Jacob Worm-M મુller wrote that Gandhiji was so insistent on imposing his principles on others that I consider him a 'dictator'. Nothing special than an ordinary politician. The citizens of India love him dearly.

They are good and noble as well as God fearing people. But even those who follow his policy and principles cannot explain to him how his path is right and proper. Gandhiji is a freedom fighter and an idealist. Many times they pretend to be Jesus Christ and then become like an ordinary politician.

Did not agitate for blacks in Africa

Explaining the reason for not awarding the Nobel to Gandhiji, it was further written that "We cannot say for sure that Gandhiji's principles can be said to be universal or practical only in the context of India. A member of the Nobel Committee went so far as to note that "Gandhiji's anti-apartheid movement in South Africa was originally about why Indians living there are viewed that way." Indeed, the situation of blacks living there was much worse than that of Indians living in South Africa. Gandhiji did not agitate for whites to treat South Africans or global blacks equally and give them equal rights. Thus Gandhiji was deprived of the 19th Nobel Peace Prize.

Abad was excluded in 1938 and 1939

Gandhiji's name was again nominated by Norwegian MP Ole Kolbaners for both the 19th and 18th years. The 19th draft was also presented in such a way as to answer the doubts expressed in the 12th. This time, the committee announced the Nobel Peace Prize to Nansen International, an organization working for the world's refugees, without specifically discussing who was nominated at the time. As Gandhiji has been nominated for the third year in a row for the 13th consecutive year, it is natural that an atmosphere is being created in which the committee is openly disclosing its intentions. This time the committee did not give the Nobel Prize for Peace to anyone who was manipulating. It was decided to deposit the prize money in the fund of the Nobel Trust. This rarely happens in any category.

Massacre in India and Nobel to Gandhiji?

Now at the age of 18, that is, ten years after the first nomination, Gandhiji's name came up again on the table of the Nobel Committee. Mumbai Prime Minister BG Khair, United Provinces Premier Govind Vallabh Pant, Indian Parliament Speaker Mavalankar jointly sent a long telegram to the Norwegian Foreign Ministry explaining why Gandhiji must receive the Nobel Peace Prize. At that time nomination had to be done through such a process. Not a letter but a telegram was considered valid. "Gandhiji is not only the architect of India but also the most moral person in the world, he is the greatest influencer of world peace and also an extraordinary global citizen," the telegram said. Historian Jane Arup Saip's comment was responsible for Gandhiji not getting the prize that year.

"The events that unfolded in the 19th and 19th decades proved to be both the greatest victory of Gandhiji and his movement and the most humiliating defeat," Seip wrote. India's independence and India's partition, one thing became an achievement and together the stigma attached forever. Scenes of massacre can be seen in India. How can a Nobel Prize be awarded to a leader of a country where bloodshed and looting are rampant?

In the end, Gandhiji failed

The report of the 19th Nobel Committee also notes that "the decisions taken by the National Congress under Gandhiji's influence during the 19th and 19th decades have strained relations between Indians and the British. India had decided to send its troops to World War II and the bloodshed and violence that erupted between Hindus and Muslims at the time of independence was all the time Gandhiji was a propagandist leader of non-violence but in the end he seemed to have lost influence over the masses or the party. Could. '

Two very influential Christian members of the committee, Hermann Schmidt and Aftadal, made strong representations that Gandhiji should be awarded the Nobel, but the other three committee members voted against awarding the Nobel to Gandhi, including Labor politician Martin Tranmel Made a very aggressive presentation to meet. But due to India-Pakistan partition and communal violence with great animosity, Gandhiji's great contribution of the past was ignored.

Nominated in 1948 and assassinated a few days later

Finally, in 19, Gandhiji was again nominated for the Nobel. The nominees this time were probably the most influential dignitaries and groups, including the Quakers and Emily Greenbach, who even won the Nobel. Gandhiji was nominated in early January and was assassinated on the 20th of the same month.

Such a person can establish religion

The Nobel Foundation article said that Gandhiji was the closest to winning the Nobel Prize in 19. As only three contenders were in the fray at the time, this time the committee's adviser, CAP, wrote that Gandhiji was influencing his followers with his leading principles, living and eating habits, which he intended to establish a religion for.

Probably a sign that the Nobel Prize had been awarded in 1948

If he had not died, would the 19th Nobel Prize have been awarded? The reason for such suspicion is that the 19th Nobel Peace Prize will not be awarded to anyone.

Gandhiji's size and aura are so pervasive in the world that the Nobel Peace Prize looks like a pale and dignified Minda.
