A not given Nobel Prize

One of the acts I admired the most is the decision of the British government when decided that would give the independence to India. Of course, Mahatma Gandhi and the people that were resisting peacefully forced this act, but the British could simply send more troops and could write one of the most brutal acts in history against the peaceful Indians which would not fight. They could kill innocents, journalist and whoever were opposing against them because had the arms, the power and the money.

And this is why I admire this decision as one of the most humanitarian and peaceful. For Ghandi, once he started he did not have a choice but to continue fighting for his people, for the British could use the force (killing) but refrained themselves. Thanks to that decision thousand lives were saved, I think.

Historically, I remember many Davids fighting Goliats, but hardly remember a Goliat that decides that do not want to become a cold-blooded killer and let David go, even if could killed him.

I would give them the Peace Nobel Prize.
