COMMENTARY

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.
Suchita Vemuri Staff Editor 26th March 2005	Hi Andres, Gabriel Garcia Marquez won the Nobel Prize for literaturwe in 1982 "for his novels and short stories, in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination, reflecting a continent's life and conflicts". See: http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Nobel-Prize-in-Literature#1980s.
AB 13th May 2005	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.
Chintu.M.Raju 28th July 2005	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.
Esteban Varas 19th September 2005	I just wanted to say that Chile has two Nobel Prize (Literature) Winners and none of them are listed. They are Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda. It should be fixed.
sowmya 20th October 2005	Its very unforunate that India is not in the above list, I wish to thank Amit Agarwal for giving info about Indian Nobel prize winners names since I wanted the details very badly and could not find it together anywhere
Tharun karra (India,Andhra pradesh ,Tenali Town) 3rd October 2007	Attention Every Body Most of the Noble prize winners are Christians and Jews , because they are blessed by the Almighty Lord Jesus ....
