	Manas: History and Politics, Mahatma Gandhi
		His father died before Gandhi could finish his schooling, and at thirteen he was married to Kasturba [or Kasturbai], who was even younger.
		Though his elders objected, Gandhi could not be prevented from leaving; and it is said that his mother, a devout woman, made him promise that he would keep away from wine, women, and meat during his stay abroad.
		Gandhi was powerfully attracted to them, as he was to the texts of the major religious traditions; and ironically it is in London that he was introduced to the Bhagavad Gita.

		Gandhi's uniqueness is in his life and in the strategies he advocated and adopted as matters of principle.
		In his concern for all persons, Gandhi joins the category of great teachers, of great moralists, and founders of religions -although he denied that he was a religious teacher and strongly opposed any suggestion that organisations or structures should be set up in his name.
		Gandhi's first requirement was that oppression be recognised for what it is; the second, that we search for the truth behind it -the roots of it; and the third was that we act against it by non-violent methods, and continue doing so until the oppression has been brought to an end.

	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.
		Gandhi, they also argue, is not a real pacifist because some of his campaigns did lead to violence and terror against British authorities.

	HardNews - Isn’t it time Gandhi got the Nobel?
		Considered to be the greatest apostle of peace in the 20th century, Mahatma Gandhi had the Nobel Peace Prize pass him by, for a variety of reasons — all of them wrong.
		Gandhi's struggle may have been the product of a particular time and place, but his values stood for all humanity, and, as Post-Modern philosophies would have it, for all time.
		The Labour politician, Martin Tranmæl, was very reluctant to award the Prize to Gandhi in the midst of the India-Pakistan conflict, and former foreign minister Birger Braadland agreed with Tranmæl.

		However, controversially, the Peace Prize was to be awarded by a committee elected by the lower house of the Norwegian Storting (parliament).
		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.

	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.
		(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.
		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.

		Gandhi was nominated for the next two years but was denied the award each time.
		However, due to the communal riots, the slaughter and lawlessness thanks to the partition and the movement of indian troops in Kashmir (a move condoned by Gandhi), he committee may have deemed it inappropriate to award the nobel peace prize to anyone in the subcontinent.
		However, Gandhi did not belong to an organisation, he left no property behind and no will; so the question was 'Who should receive the prize money?' After much deliberation On November 18, 1948, the Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to make no award that year on the grounds that "there was no suitable living candidate".

		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.
		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.
		Perhaps it is because society sees women as inherently peaceful creatures and that any man who has overcome his natural inclination to maim and slaughter is immediately deserving of some kind of award.

		There is no indication that any specimens of this design were ever produced and one year later the design was altered.
		The original statutes of January 1954 did not make allowance for posthumous awards (and this perhaps explains why the decoration was never awarded to Mahatma Gandhi), though this provision was added in the January 1955 statute.
		While there was no formal provision that recipients of the Bharat Ratna should be Indian citizens, this seems to have been the general assumption.

		That their trials and tribulations have failed to break the spirit of the Tibetans is another reason; on the contrary their feeling of national pride and identity and their determination to survive have been enhanced, and these are expressed in massive demonstrations.
		The peace plan failed to initiate any negotiations with the Chinese, even though the discrepancies between the two sides were not particularly profound.
		The future hopes of oppressed millions are today linked to the unarmed battalions, for they will win the peace: the justice of their demands, moreover, is now so clear and the moral strength of their struggle so indomitable that they can only temporarily be halted by force of arms.
