Like the USD, the Nobel prize is itself increasingly getting debased with the involvement of drug companies(last years medicine prize), gender politics , Peace Prize for the messiah etc .

All those in India who were thumping their chests over Dr.V (or who felt heartbroken at Dr.V's distancing) can feel relieved that the recently arrested Rajaratnam (for insider trading allegation) is not one of them.

"In India, a Sigh of Relief Over Rajaratnam's Sri Lankan Birth
Posted by: Mehul Srivastava on October 20
Here in India, newspapers are following the Galleon hedge fund insider trading scandal with just a little bit of relief - “Thank god,” you can read between the headlines. “He’s not Indian.”
Raj Rajaratnam, the Sri Lankan-born billionaire who ran the Galleon Group, a New York-based hedge fund, was arrested Oct. 16 by federal prosecutors for insider trading. Five of his colleagues and friends were also arrested - prosecutors for the SEC and the New York Attorney General’s office say they too were involved."

I must say, comments allowed on BW (following the article) are lot of times so toxic, I have lost respect for BW (Businessweek).
