Sometimes experience in other countries can help people to understand their own identity better. Mahatma Gandhi was born 1869 at Portandar in Western India. After studying in India, he dreamt of going to England to study. He was told that his Hindu religion did not allow voyages abroad. However, Gandhi was very determined and he finally left for England in 1887. At first he tried to learn to believe like an English gentleman, but he soon learnt that it was better to be himself. He studied law in London, qualifying in 1891. He also learnt about other religious.
He returned home to India and worked as a lawyer for two years. After some problems, he was offered a job in South Africa. Here he experienced racism as a member of the Indian community. He decided to fight for the rights of Indians using “passive resistance” He had three main beliefs, namely non-violence, religious tolerance and truth. When he finally returned to India in 1915, he became a great political leader. During the fight for independence he was often put in prison, but his beliefs never changed.
Gandhi had studied in Britain, so he understood the British better than they understood him. Gandhi’s leadership led to independence, but, on Independence Day, 15 August, 1947, Gandhi refused to celebrate. He was in favor of Hindu-Muslim unity but Muslims and Hindus could not agree, so a separate Muslim state was formed in Pakistan. In 1948, Gandhi started fasting to death as a protest against fighting between India and Pakistan. He was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic on 30th January 1948. India and Pakistan are still fighting in Kashmir today. The fight for independence was a difficult one, but not as difficult as the fight for non-violence, religious tolerance and truth.

The former president of Finland Martti Ahtisaari has won the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize. He won it "for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts." Mt Ahtisaari has worked tirelessly to end conflicts in many of the world's danger zones. He has successfully brought conflicting sides together to bring peace to Namibia, the Aceh province of Indonesia, Northern Ireland and in Kosovo. A spokesman for Norway's Nobel Committee described Ahtisaari as “an outstanding international mediator.” He added Ahtisaari has “contributed to a more peaceful world and to 'fraternity between nations' in Alfred Nobel's spirit.” Ex-colleague Gareth Evans said Mr. Ahtisaari “combines charm and good humor with an iron determination.”
Mr. Ahtisaari was selected from a list of 197 nominees for the Peace Prize. He said he was “very pleased and grateful” for it. “I hope this will bring positive attention to Finland, and that it tells about our society and what is important to us,” he said. Ahtisaari's work as a Finnish diplomat, a United Nations envoy and an international mediator has taken him all over the world. He has led humanitarian missions, and helped resolve difficult ethnic, racial and religious disputes. He built up a reputation for bringing enemies together and never giving up. Ahtisaari told the Nobel Foundation: “Every conflict can be solved. I think it's a disgrace for the international community that we have allowed so many conflicts to become frozen, and we are not making a serious effort to solve them.

The European Union has won the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize for bringing and maintaining peace on a continent that was torn apart by horrific wars in the last century. Thorbjoern Jagland, the Nobel Committee chairman, said: "The dreadful suffering in World War II demonstrated the need for a new Europe. Over a 70-year period, Germany and France had fought three wars. Today, war between Germany and France is unthinkable. This shows how, through well-aimed efforts and by building up mutual confidence, historical enemies can become close partners." The BBC's Gavin Hewitt said the EU was set up "to make war impossible again on the continent". He added: "That has been the EU's outstanding achievement."
Critics are arguing the decision to award the EU the Prize is untimely, given the economic and social chaos sweeping many European countries. However, Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, gladly welcomed the award, saying that "even in tense, difficult times, the European Union remains an inspiration for countries and people all over the world." He added: "This is indeed a great honour for the 500 million citizens of Europe." The president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, said the award recognised the EU as the "biggest peacemaker in history." Other nominees for this year's prize included WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange.
