They should give the Peace Prize to Manmohan Singh !

For the past few years the Nobel Committee has been criticized for being prejudiced and not awarding the deserving one (a criminal case is also going on in this respect against them). But this year they made one of the biggest blunders, by awarding the Peace prize to Barack Obama. What has he done to deserve this? Well the answer to this is - absolutely nothing. Well I personally have nothing against Mr. Obama and I think that he is working for peace and that he would have probably gotten the Peace Prize ten years down the line. But he certainly did not deserve this at this point in time. That guy has been the President for only nine months and so far hasn’t got any substantial policy changes. During his reign, the USA has not only intensified its war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but has also increased the number of drone attacks in Pakistan killing several innocent people. The Nobel Committee has completely lost it’s credibility by awarding a leader of a country which is simultaneously engaged in two war.

If anything, they should give the Peace Prize to Dr. Manmohan Singh. During his tenure, India has witnessed brazen attacks on Indian cities, attacks on embassies, exponential growth in Naxal violence, but he remains calm and in peace with himself. Our leaders are the most peace loving people on earth. Even if the terrorists take our financial capital hostage for a few hours, even if the bomb our embassies abroad or even if the naxals kill 20 of our policemen, our leaders won’t harm them. They will just be busy engaging in debates on television channels or building statues of themselves (or for that fact of Shivaji Maharj. Now tell me one thing, if Shivaji Maharaj would have been alive today, would he have agreed to spend 450 cores on a statue when lakhs of your farmers are earning less than 5 Rs a day and committing suicide).

So if there is anyone who deserves the Nobel Peace Prize then its Dr. Manmohan Singh.
