The omission has been publicly regretted by later members of the Nobel Committee when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989, the chairman of the committee said that this was “in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi”. Gandhi was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and, finally, a few days before he was murdered in January 1948. Twenty-one years later, he was commemorated on this double-sized United Kingdom postage stamp. ![]() But his martyrdom in 1948 made him an even greater symbol of peace.

He was nominated several times, but was never awarded the prize. It is widely held – in retrospect – that the Indian national leader should have been the very man to be selected for the Nobel Peace Prize. Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) has become the strongest symbol of non-violence in the 20th century. ![]() |
