			About the Award
			===============
   The Gov't of India instituted the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for
   International Understanding as a tribute to India's first
   Prime Minister.  The Award is made by a jury appointed by the
   Gov't of India.  The jury consists of the Vice-President of
   India, the Chief Justice of India, one chief justice from a
   State High Court, one vice-chancellor of a university, one
   person representing the press, and two emminent persons from
   public life in India.  The Award carries an amount of 250,000
   rupees (Rs. 250,000) which is convertible into foreign cur-
   rency.

   Since I'm not familiar with all the names on the table above,
   would someone like to help me with their identities (like who
   they are & why they were considered for the Award)?  Looking
   at the above list, one could possibly believe that some of the
   choices were politically influenced.
