(They made an exception in the case of Dag Hammarskjold).<br />The last date for receipt of nomination is February 1. India got independence on August 15, 1947. Mahatma Gandhi died on January 30, 1948.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-68189076080131324402009-10-11T10:07:32.778-07:002009-10-11T10:07:32.778-07:00The tidbit was interesting! the news made me feel ...The tidbit was interesting! the news made me feel like it was out of a filmfare award show! every ash, sush or priyanka gets an award..Obama might be good, might be not so good, but whatever it is, it is too early to even talk about it forget awarding!This will definitely raise questions about the sanctity of the highest award.
