Prasad Varma alias His Holiness Bal Brahmachari, Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi, Acharya Vinoba Bhave, Mehar Chand Davar, Sri Aurobindo Ghose,
Jawaharlal Nehru, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Mahatma Gandhi -
were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. An apostle of non-violent
struggle and a crusader against colonialism and inequality Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi (popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi) was a much
revered world figure. Between 1924 and 1948, in nearly 100
nominations (individual or joint) he was proposed for the Nobel
Peace Prize. And yet despite international support, Gandhi was
never a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Why was it so? Was it
the fault of the Nobel Committee? Perhaps his associates made
mistakes? In order to answer such questions, the nomination
letters, newspaper cuttings, reports of the experts' of the Nobel
Committee, confidential record of the Committee, and other
unpublished documents were consulted from the Archives of the Peace
Prize Institute. The results are discussed and analysed in this
volume. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or
distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
