An Indian Wins a Nobel Prize

Well...technically, Indian scientist Rajendra Pachauri heads the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore (a fact that most US news outlets have conspicuously failed to mention)...so I guess that can be counted as a win.

And, unlike Gore, he had the good grace to share the wealth: "I am only a symbolic recipient but it is the organisation which has been awarded."

Maybe they can get him to run for Prime Minister!
