INDIAN NOMINATORS AND NOMINEES FOR THE PEACE NOBEL PRIZE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

摘要

The analysis of India's nominators and nominees in the field of Peace Nobel Prize between the time period 1901 and 1950 shows that:rn1.1 Indian nominators and nominees were involved in the history of the Peace Nobel Prizes only after 1930.rn•1.2 In most of the cases Indian nominators nominated their own country men.rn1.3 Seen on the national scale, most of the nominators were from Calcutta. They nominated persons from their own city whereas the nominators from Bombay or Delhi acted differently.rn1.4 The most interesting point seems to be the nominees. The Bengali nominees were proposed for their social and religious contributions, whereas the nominators from Bombay and Delhi preferred the politicians. This might reflect the way of thinking of different communities in these cities.
