Welcome

  The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes created by the Swedish industrialist, inventor, and armaments manufacturer Alfred Nobel. Since 1901, it has been awarded annually (with some exceptions) to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."
Per Alfred Nobel's will, the recipient is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, a 5-member committee appointed by the Parliament of Norway. Since 1990, the prize is awarded on December 10 in Oslo City Hall each year.


     Nobel died in 1896 and he did not leave an explanation for choosing peace as a prize category. As he was a trained chemical engineer, the categories for chemistry and physics were obvious choices. The reasoning behind the peace prize is less clear. According to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, his friendship with Bertha von Suttner, a peace activist and later recipient of the prize, profoundly influenced his decision to include peace as a category.

Mahatma Gandhi

     Mahatma was a prominent Indian political leader who campaigned for Indian independence. He employed non-violence principles and peaceful disobedience. Sadly he was assassinated by a fanatic. In India he is known as 'The Father of the nation". Mohandas Gandhi was born, 1869, in Porbandor India. He was a very good student, but there was no sign of leadership. On the death of his father, Mohandas travelled to England to gain a degree in law. He become involved with the vegetarian society and was once asked to translate the Hindu Bhagauad Gita. This epic of Hindu literature awakened in Gandhi a sense of pride in the Indian scriptures, of which the gita was the pearl.

     Around this time he also studied the bible and was struck by the teachings of Jesus Christ-especially the emphasis on humility and forgiveness. He remained committed to the bible. On completing his degree in law. In Africa he first experienced racial discrimination and injustice. In south Africa Gandhi for the first time experimented with campaigns of civil disobedience; he called his non-violent protests: satyagraha. Despite his effort he ended in jail for a short time.


    after 21 years in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India in 1915. He became the leader of the indian nationalist movement campaigning for home rule. Gandhi had success with his non-violent protest. Gandhi was a seeker of truth. He wanted to obtained peace by non-violent practice which infact opened the door for peaceful raids and for India to have a peaceful negotiation, meaning that Gandhi's movement was not made in vane.
