Nehru didn't win Nobel Prize despite 13 nominations
India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 13 times but did not receive the honour. The Nobel Foundation considered Nehru's name for the prize several times in the 1950s for laying the foundations of a modern India. Interestingly, even Mahatma Gandhi was not conferred with the prize by the Nobel Foundation despite five nominations.
