Talk:List of Indian Nobel laureates

It is not correct to add a subdivision called "International organizations headed by Indians at the time of receiving the Nobel Prize" - it is not the same as an Indian winning the Nobel Prize. This topic is clearly added just to put in Dr. Pachauri in this list, but unfortunately he does not fit into this list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Genius1000 (talk • contribs) 19:39, 11 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't it be Shantiniketan instead of santiniketan ??please clarify my doubt Amy (talk) 14:38, 31 July 2011 (UTC))Reply

Was she an Indian citizen? If not, then she shouldn't be included in this list. --Ragib 05:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Again, was she an Indian citizen? If not, she shouldn't be included in this list. --Ragib 08:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

She died in India. Although that doesn't mean that she was an Indian citizen, the nobel prize official website states that the prize goes to India somehow maybe because of her works in Calcutta, India. Weird, huh? Check it out: [1] Loukinho 08:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Great, please add the reference into the article. Thanks. --Ragib 08:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

She became a naturalized Indian citizen in 1950, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1979. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.107.76.11 (talk) 17:50, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I still recall the day Amartya Sen was awarded the nobel prize and TOI carried the pictures of all the 8 nobel laurettes and I had wondered... hmmm. Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen on the same list doesnt quite seem logical!

unless ofcourse we are so desperate that we are quite willing to overlook the technicalities. btw some trivia that I had read at about the time of Mr. Sen's medal - being a US citizen, he had to pay about 30% of the Million dollar prize money that the award has to the US Govt. had he been an Indian Citizen, Nobel prize award is tax free.

Dalai Lama (1989) is also termed as Indian in some lists; IPCC under Rajendra Pachauri (2007) should be added, after all atleast the leader is an Indian.

Why is India the only country to get a Nobel laureates of _____? Isn't the "List of Nobel laureates by country" enough?--129.93.210.130 (talk) 19:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

This is a good point but an even better one would be to ask why these types of lists exist in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.131.39.112 (talk) 04:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

• Why there is paragraph of 'Citizens of Pakistan' and 'Citizens of Bangladesh' in this article ???? what these two countries have to do anything of india's noble laureates?

Does it mean, in those countries list, indian laureates also can be added? Administrator , please correct it.

I am removing the sections "Citizens of Pakistan" and "Citizens of Bangladesh." These people were clearly full citizens of their respective countries at the time they received their Nobel prizes; their inclusion on this page, from my perspective, is irrelevant and off-topic. Till any new justifications are presented, I am forced to intend the proposed move. Acejet (talk) 21:07, 5 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

The Nobel Prize page says:

The will of the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel ... established the prizes in 1895. The prizes ... were first awarded in 1901.

and starting of the current page Nobel laureates of India page says:

The Nobel Prizes, instituted in 1901 ...

Shouldn't the latter be following?

The Nobel Prizes, instituted in 1895 ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Just shobhit (talk • contribs) 09:42, 27 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

What about Rajendra Kumar Pachauri?. Though he was awarded under non-individual category, there is no mention about him in this article. --Essaar (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

The article has been nominated for deletion. It is unnecessary to have an article like this for just one country; in fact, it's unnecessary to have an article like this at all.

Also: Talk:Nobel_laureates_of_India#Question...

Unfortunately, India-related articles on Wikipedia seem to have a disease of awful prose and formatting.
To keep things short, I just suggest that concerned editors take a look at List of Japanese Nobel laureates, List of Chinese Nobel laureates and List of black Nobel Laureates.
In addition to a name change, I also suggest a total reformatting of this article to follow the tabled structure of those and simply delete all this sectioned gushing currently in this article. MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:53, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

In the List_of_Nobel_laureates_in_Physics we have these prizes linguistically attributed to Satyendra Bose:

• 1979 - Nobel press release - for work that predicts "... weak vector bosons ..." http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1979/press.html
• 1984 - Nobel press release - contributions that lead to the discovery of the W and Z bosons
• 2001 - "for the achievement of Bose–Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates"
• 2013 - "for the theoretical discovery" which led to the discovery of the Higgs boson.

With a little bit of work, I think that this can WP:RS-ally be included in the article. The list is probably incomplete - it's probably hard to separate any particle physics discoveries from bosons...

The current photo dates 2007 while Dr. Chandrashekhar died in 1995. Even if the photo is dated incorrectly, it is still an unidentifiable representation of the laureate. Could someone please change the photo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Princeaditya (talk • contribs) 21:55, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Nobel laureates of India's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Nobel Prize":

• From Pakistan: "1979 Nobel Prize in Physics". Nobel Prize. Retrieved 24 December 2011.
• From Abdus Salam: "1979 Nobel Prize in Physics". Nobel Prize. Archived from the original on 7 July 2014.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 05:16, 23 April 2016 (UTC) Shakur MohdReply

Hi everyone, I just got back from a long Wikibreak and would like to start off again from where I left three years ago. Just going again for FL nomination again. Please pitch in your valuable ideas and additions. Thank you.. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:33, 22 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
