With the initiative of Girija Prasad ,  once a terrorist group (still a terrorist group for US) came to the mainstream and took part in election. 16000 lives were lost during last ten years.  People in nepal are still dying but number has fallen.

When Obama got nobel peace prize i wondered that is nobel peace prize for the big countries. I still cant see why obama got nobel prize. He just became president. The Afganistan is getting worse and worse all the time. Many british forces including many gurkha has died in recent times. Iraq is yet to recover. Isreal-palestine is still suffering. So I guess the decision is very premature.



Girija prachanda signs peace treaty in Delhi

I think prize like this one is awarded to those who puts his/her efforts to make whole world a better and safer place. those who tries to thwart political catastrophe around the globe. Obama has already thwarted political tsunami that was errupting between Russia and US by cacelling the missile defence system in eastern europe, he is pulling out of Iraq, he has formed a special commitee for middle east peace process, he recenlty called to reduce stock pilling of nuclear arms and that might be the reason that iran has promised to let in IAEA inspectors to its so called clandestined nuclear power plants. 

Girija might have done enough to bring peace in Nepal or he may be a unsung hero for many but on the world stage the platform he is standing is still below the surface of winning Nobel peace prize.

First thing , prize is not awarded for the world scale. It could be anything.  An An sang su ki didn't get this award for world contribution. Gandhi is remembered for his effort in India.

Whatever you say , Obama is still commander in chief of two wars that are still fighting and killing the people. It is very easy to try to justify in retrospect what he have done. What a mockery on one hand his army are fighting and killing people and on the other hand he is taking the peace prize.

His nulcear whatever ......success is a nothing but a joke. Do you think  Ahamadinijad will bow down and stop nuclear testing. Or kim jong il has stopped anything.

I have supported obama during the presidency and still support him because he is the man with charimsa. But I just don't support him blindly.

Fact is he has done nothing to warrant him a peace prize. Well he is pulling out of iraq....pulling out of afganistan..............................oh good prachanda is making nepal swizerland.   Give him peace  award now. Give world cup to brazil for 2010 .......they are going to win the world cup.

Fug with Peace Prizes...... It's all bullshit.

no_queiro, you are all over the place like a derailed freight train. Nobel peace prize is for those people who puts efforts, ideas and visions to shape the world's political dimension for good. And ofcourse if there is prize called " political medal" that is given to countries then yes Girija is best contender for the gold.

Show me EFFORT.  Commander in chief of two ongoing wars...and you are talkign about efforts. Your agrument about effort is as baseless as it gets.  Obama has not said anything concrete about Iraq or afganistan. What about innoncent trapped inside Guantanamo Bay ....or what about isreal-palestine.............wounds of
Gaza... still ozzing with blood...and
to add insult to injury....US is still inside Iraq and Afghanistan!!! . for god sake thats not their country and they are not their in a peace mission like many Nepalese army in congo.

Nobel peace prize is for those people who puts efforts, ideas and visions to shape the world's political dimension for good.

=====   Talk the talk ....what about walking the talk. Or does award is given to someone for talking the talk ? What about his vision. After obama administration US is in more debt now. What vision that augurs.  My point of this thread was not to say Girija deserved noble prize. I believe if there was no girija there would not have been maubadi. But my point is at the current context obama hasn't done anything for peace even as much as girija.

In 6 months of Obama US got a trillion debt. More money poured into iraq and afganistan on so called war.  Imagine how many job cuts all over the world.

Girija?? yeah rightttt

THIS IS THE MOST REDICULOUS THREAD I HAVE EVER CAME ACROSS.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL THIS QUIRO GUY WHAT GIRIJA KHATE/PAKHE OR ANY OTHER NETA HAS DONE ANYTHING FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE PEOPLE OR COUNTRY? ANYONE PLEASE..............

Where is the user named 'MayaluMaya' who has the list of Girija's kartoots??

A man who feels at home when he is in Bihar should get Noble prize - now someone tell me, can anything get any funnier than this. I even forgot GOD MUST BE CRAZY for a second.

A man who sells nation's resources to India should be winner. pluuuueeeeeeeeeseeeeee STOP it.

I never liked King Gyanendra but at this moment I think he deserves peace prize more than Obama or Girija. Had he wished he might have opted for bloodshed before leaving the throne but he did not and acted according to the so called people's mandate from election. So, he is better messenger for peace than Obama or Girija !!! My two cents.

Of course Girija does need a peace prize. He was the most important person to bring the terrorists (Maoists) in mainstreaming politics. He deserves nobel prize. Haaaa, somebody tryin to pull some negatives from any person, you will get it. Even Girija might have some and even Obama, Gandhi or....does. That does not mean they do not deserve nobel prize. Girija is the most powerful leader of Nepal at the present situation, no matter who is PM or the President. Girija has the keys for all of em..

dude your only point for why obama is not good enough for the nobel prize is that hez commander of chief of US who is involved in war. But you are forgeting those war started way before he came to office and just by withdrawing the US forces wont solve anything. i mean you would be okay with him if he wasn't the president of US? you are neglecting all the things he has been doing or trying to do and just focusing on the war that started way before.

They gave Obama the award thinking he will stop war out of shame.

Its like in 3rd grade when the teacher has to go pee, she tells the biggest bully in class "I am putting you iin charge to monitor the class when I am gone". not the same thing but the same logic.

I think Obama's surprise win for noble peace prize is completely political. obama has done lots of things since he became president to promote global peace. you can read georgian_satellite comment on what are the things he tried to do or did. but the thing is he was nominated for this prize right after 12 days of his presidency. he didn't have anything on his resume when he was nominated.

fyi, i like obama and i support this administration.

HAHAHAH GIRIJA ...HAHAHAHA !!!

Girija .. No .. give the prize to " lalu" ..if Lalu wants .. he can do everything . See how peacefully he is doing Politics ..

Or

I dont mind if "makune" and " Lalu" wins it combined

-iphone

Girija would get it if the standard was the promotion of bribery and nepotism based politics in Nepal.

maile 3-4 month agadi suru garya yo thread nepal government le dekhe cha ki k ho. Now his name is forwarwded for noble prize.

I am a big Obama supporter but he hasn't done jack shit yet. Its like NightElf said, they are trying to get his ass to do something.

no_quiero
