Opinion - Letters to the Editor

The Nobel & Mahatma

The stature of Mahatma Gandhi and his contribution to world peace are more significant than the Nobel Peace Prize itself. The Nobel Foundation is guilty of overlooking him.

The award for the Mahatma would have been a feather in the cap of the foundation.

We have no regrets over the Mahatma not being awarded the Nobel Peace. But we do feel bad at his not getting the Bharat Ratna, the highest Indian civilian award.
