Although Mahatma Gandhi was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize but the coveted honour has gone to several individuals who believed in and propagated the Gandhian philosophy of peace and non-violence globally.
Barack Hussein Obama, the 44th President of the United States, is latest in this club of Gandhian followers to have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Prominent followers in the recent past have been Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi and the Dalai Lama.
Obama, the first African American president of the United States, has been an avid admirer of Mahatma Gandhi. Only recently he told a group of students he would like to have dinner with Mahatma Gandhi. The Father of the nation Gandhi's contribution and influence in the rise of Obama is being acknowledged too.
