Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize, despite being nominated five times.
Mahatma Gandhi, widely regarded as one of the great champions of non-violent struggle, has never won the Nobel prize for Peace. He was selected five time, in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and 1948. But he has never won it. The omission has been publicly regretted by later members of the Nobel Committee.
While the committee considered giving him a posthumous award after his passing, the explanation was that there “Gandhi did not belong to an organization, he left no property behind, and no will. So, who should receive the Prize money”?
