As for India, interference of politics is quite transparent in the National awards such as PadmaShree and PadmaBhushan; people who deserve rarely gets these as actors and many others who have more influence are preferred.

To get a Nobel prize one has to be nominated. So a person with great networking skill may have the advantage. All the nominated people may be of similar scientific calibre. Then the politics come in. This may not be true of peace prize and President Obama getting it. Remember, Mahatma Gandhi was not considered for peace Nobel, though he is considered the apostle of peace.Abhijit Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053181712880530470noreply@blogger.com
