untitled

It is not correct to add a subdivision called "International organizations headed by Indians at the time of receiving the Nobel Prize" - it is not the same as an Indian winning the Nobel Prize. This topic is clearly added just to put in Dr. Pachauri in this list, but unfortunately he does not fit into this list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Genius1000 (talk • contribs) 19:39, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be Shantiniketan instead of santiniketan ??please clarify my doubt Amy (talk) 14:38, 31 July 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Mother Teresa

Was she an Indian citizen? If not, then she shouldn't be included in this list. --Ragib 05:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again, was she an Indian citizen? If not, she shouldn't be included in this list. --Ragib 08:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She died in India. Although that doesn't mean that she was an Indian citizen, the nobel prize official website states that the prize goes to India somehow maybe because of her works in Calcutta, India. Weird, huh? Check it out: [1] Loukinho 08:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great, please add the reference into the article. Thanks. --Ragib 08:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

or Amartya Sen for that matter

I still recall the day Amartya Sen was awarded the nobel prize and TOI carried the pictures of all the 8 nobel laurettes and I had wondered... hmmm. Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen on the same list doesnt quite seem logical!

unless ofcourse we are so desperate that we are quite willing to overlook the technicalities. btw some trivia that I had read at about the time of Mr. Sen's medal - being a US citizen, he had to pay about 30% of the Million dollar prize money that the award has to the US Govt. had he been an Indian Citizen, Nobel prize award is tax free.

Dalai Lama (1989) is also termed as Indian in some lists; IPCC under Rajendra Pachauri (2007) should be added, after all atleast the leader is an Indian.

Question...

Why is India the only country to get a Nobel laureates of _____? Isn't the "List of Nobel laureates by country" enough?--129.93.210.130 (talk) 19:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good point but an even better one would be to ask why these types of lists exist in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.131.39.112 (talk) 04:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question 2...

82.240.253.173 (talk) 18:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why there is paragraph of 'Citizens of Pakistan' and 'Citizens of Bangladesh' in this article ???? what these two countries have to do anything of india's noble laureates?

Does it mean, in those countries list, indian laureates also can be added? Administrator , please correct it.

I am removing the sections "Citizens of Pakistan" and "Citizens of Bangladesh." These people were clearly full citizens of their respective countries at the time they received their Nobel prizes; their inclusion on this page, from my perspective, is irrelevant and off-topic. Till any new justifications are presented, I am forced to intend the proposed move. Acejet (talk) 21:07, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nobel prizes "instituted" in 1895 and "first awarded" in 1901?

The Nobel Prize page says:

The will of the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel ... established the prizes in 1895. The prizes ... were first awarded in 1901.

and starting of the current page Nobel laureates of India page says:

The Nobel Prizes, instituted in 1901 ...

Shouldn't the latter be following?

The Nobel Prizes, instituted in 1895 ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Just shobhit (talk • contribs) 09:42, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rajendra Kumar Pachauri

What about Rajendra Kumar Pachauri?. Though he was awarded under non-individual category, there is no mention about him in this article. --Essaar (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
