This table does not seem to have the accurate data... India, according to Wikipedia, has 8 Nobel laureates - check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_country#India

There is a noble prize winner from Pakistan. His name is Dr. Abdus Salam (physics).

Unless of course he has been declared a terrorist by white house. Then he won't be mentioned here.

You are missing Chile,with 2 Nobel Prices.The first one in 1945(Gabriela Mistral)and the second one in 1971(Pablo Neruda)Both of them in Literature.
Giancarlo Giacomazzi (Santiago, Chile)
13th July 2006
I need to make you know the big mystake this statistics set did, China appears with 2 Nobel prizes, and Chile, that have 2 Nobel prizes, is not in this chart. Please, you have to fix this because the name is Chile, not China.

Guatemala has two Novel prizes, Miguel Angel Asturias and Rigoberta Menchu... why they don't appear?

You've obviously forgot a lot of people, including García Márquez, 1982 winner of Literature' Nobel Prize. I've reviewed the official database where you state you found the data and there is no reference of nationality, just names (where Garía Márquez is included)

You forgot to mention that Bosnia has 2 Nobel Prize winners, one for literature and another one for chemistry, what's up with that?
Amit Agarwal

India, with at least 6 Nobel Prizes is the most surprising exclusion.
R.Tagore for Literature
C.V Raman for Physics
H.G Khurana for Medicine
S.Chandrashekhar for Physics
Mother Teresa for Peace
Amartya Sen for Economics

Sir V.S Naipaul is another Indian-origin winner for Literature. And Mahatma Gandhi was the most deserving of Nobel Peace prize, unjustifiably unawarded.

The Nobel Prizes have been dominated by Europe and the U.S. for the past 100 years. Certain Countries pool their resources into a concentrated focus and so they are the ones who sometimes lead in certain fields but also it is political! Why with so many Scientists and engineers working on cutting edge technology from the Soviet Union, they did not win very many Prizes? Or China, I know they are behind in certain areas but they also have very good research programs in certain fields. What about Japan?
I really do believe that politics play a big role in who wins.
Why does the U.S. have huge trade deficits and deficits in high technology areas also but they win a fair amount of the prizes?
Why did Europe pass the U.S. in the mid-1990's in scientific Journals and have widened the lead since with China coming fast?
Why is 60 percent of the U.S. research dollars spent by the Military for Military weapons research(knowing a large portion of that is also wasted and stolen) while only 40 percent goes to the basic research projects and when one looks at that it becomes clear that the U.S. is not leading in basic research but Europe. And also Asia cannot be left out, it too has a vast scientific community.
Examples of European Research projects: World's largest Fusion research project-France, World largest particle research center(Cern)France and Switzerland,World leader in Solar, Wind, Water(ocean),Geothermal,Hydrogen and other alternative energy projects-E.U.,Leaders in car research-Europe, Chemistry-Europe,one of the leaders in Aerospace-E.U.,Stem cell research-E.U. and in many other fields they are at the top or near the top.

Dr. Abdul Salaam from Pakistan won the nobel prize in physics and that is not mentioned

This website erroneously lists New Zealand as having 0 Nobel laureates - in fact it has three to my knowledge: Ernest Rutherford, born 1871 in Nelson, NZ, awarded Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1908 (quite an important guy, I would have thought, since he first split the atom and led the way to atomic power - and the atom bomb); Maurice Wilkins, born 1916 in Pongaroa, NZ, joint winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1962 for the unravelling of DNA along with Crick & Watson; and more recently, Alan MacDiarmid, born Masterton, NZ, in 1927, joint winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Not bad for a country whose population has never risen much above 3million and is stuck at the bottom of the world.

You forgot to mention a Pakistani nobel prize winner Abdus Salam who won the nobel prize for Physics in 1979 for his work on the electroweak theory.

I know for a fact that Chile has two Literature Nobel Prize winners, they are - Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda.

I am very unfortunate to notice that my motherland, India is not at all included in the list. Please give the details of the 6 Nobel Laureates.
Jaison

There are atleast Six Indians by birth or citizenship. Rabindranath Tagore (Lit 1913), Prof. C.V. Raman (Physics 1930), dr. Hargobind Khurana (Med 1968), Mother Teresa (Peace 1979), Prof. S. Chandrasekhar (Physics 1983), Prof. Amartya Sen (Eco 1998)& V.S. Naipaul.

This list is WRONG! It does not show the Nobel Prize winners from India (0). There are 4 Indian citizens with a Nobel Prize, whereas 2 more Indians without Indian citizenship. There are quite a few Chinese Nobel winners but all of them were citizens of different countries.

Nobel prize laureates (Top 50 Countries) - Definition: Number of Nobel Prize Laureates 1901-2002 has incorrect stats.
I am surprised your source claims to be the Nobel foundation.
They were atleast two laureates from India that I know about - 1930 - CV Raman - Physics
- 1913 - Tagore - Lit.
I dont know how many more you have missed from other countries.

Didn't Gabriel Garcia Marquez from Colombia win the Nobel Prize for "100 Years of Solitude"?
Mekanos
2nd March 2005
You are missing Colombia with one Nobel Price. It was back in 1982 when Colombian Gabriel García Marquez won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
