Nominations
The Times of India Oct 09 2014
Between 1901 and 2014, the prize has been awarded 561 times, of which only seven were won by Indian citizens. However, between 1901 and 1963, the years for which nomination data is available, 123 Indians were nominated for the prize.
S Radhakrishnan got 15 nominations, the highest for any Indian during this period. Nominations are by a select group of people, including members of the respective Nobel committees, Nobel laureates and so on. The statutes of the Nobel Foundation restrict disclosure of information about nominations for 50 years and hence 1963 is the present cut-off year.
The 123 nominations from India include a few Britishers (excluding Ronald Ross and Rudyard Kipling) working in India at the time of nomination.
