[Assam] [WaterWatch] Nobel Peace prize to Al Gore and Pachauri

[mc mahant]

<Pachauri (the way he posed before photographers with his son) and a section of the media behave as if the credit goes to Pachauri and not IPCC. But for support from the George W Bush-led US lobby, he could not get the IPCC post. And one who is a campaigner for GM crops and river-linking project should not be regarded as a crusader against threat to the ecosystem.>

Spell out his  contribution to the work of 3000+Researchers/tabulators/summarizers  at IPCC.
Or was it just another Indian Mahaan Bharat , reflected glory syndrome.
Rajghatta at TOI on Friday last analyzed case by case the STORY of 14 "Indian" Nobel Laureates

Devashis is very right that Nobel Peace Prize is political, but not always. Take the choice  of Rev Tutu or Rigoberta Menchu. But certainly when Jimmy Carter was chosen, disregarding the fact that he gave orders to the entry of Talibans to Afghanistan in 1979 - six months before the Soviet Army marched into the same country, we shouldn't lament that Gandhiji didn't get it. Had the Mahatma got the prize, the Oslo committee for peace prize would have been eternally homoured. And why not the three founders of non-aligned movement - Nehru, Tito and Nasser?
