Nobel Peace Prize
Gandhi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize five times, in 1937, 1938, 1939,1947 and finally in 1948, a few days before his assassination. However he was not awarded the Nobel Prize because he was “neither a real politician nor a humanitarian relief worker".
The Executive Director for the Nobel Foundation Michael Sohlam has gone on record to state that not awarding him the Peace Prize was "a big regret" of the Nobel Foundation.
