Though many prominent Indians do have a desire to come back and settle in their native places / states, the living becomes miserable over a period of time and they once again go back, as the values are so degraded here in India, so also the research with bogus / valueless Ph.Ds and poorly maintained universities ans labs. May his soul which moves faster than light inspire / enter a new being to instill new ideas / thoughts on universes (many)and non-body travels.
Nobel committee has been always biased and tilted towards west. There are many deserving luminaries who have not been conferred with Noble prize and at the same time many undeserving (Obama) are chosen for this prize. Baba Amte, Mahatma Gandhi are just two names who lead in the list of deservings.
And now the some committee members are involved are in some scandal, its quite evident now how they select the candidates.

The Nobel committee and Norwegian parliament goofed up many times while awarding the peace prize. Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho, Anwar Sadat and Menochim Begin, Arafat,Rabin and Peres, de Clerk were awarded the prize for ending the conflicts which they started in the first place and sustained for decades. In order to appear even handed, the aggressor and the victim were treated on par. Lech Walesa, Andre Sakharov and Dalai Lama were rewarded for their fight against communist regimes. Simultaneous award to Kailash Sathyrthi and Malala was a balancing act ( the citation states that a Hindu man and a Muslim girl are being honoured). The prize to the Japanese PM Eisaku Sato was the result of aggressive lobbying by the Japan government. Obama was yet to assume office when the prize was announced, surprising every one including the recipient.

The Nobel nominations are held secret copy 50 years. So not sure whether to believe all claims on the article
George Sudarshan should have won the prize in 1965. Unfortunately his work was presented in a seminar, not in a journal and the seminar proceedings were printed only two years later. The prize went to Richard Feynman and two others who worked on the same problem and presented a more elegant proof. Feynman said that Sudarshan and co-workers too deserved the prize. The second loss was more painful. The Nobel awarded to Glauber was based on 'Sudarshan-Glauber diagonal inversion'. Glauber cleverly dropped the name of Sudarshan and used the name 'Glauber inversion' in a later paper. Sudarshan protested publicly, but to no avail. Mahatma Gandhi was nominated twice for the award but our British rulers successfully torpedoed the nomination. The decision not to award the prize posthumously was taken only in 1974. It is ironic that when Martin Luther King and Mandela were honoured Gandhi was not. Dag Hammarskjold was denied the prize initially because of the opposition from USSR. He was posthumously awarded the prize in 1965, a year after his death in an air crash. The medicine prize for 2011 was announced for R.M.Steinman, the committee being unaware of his death three days earlier. This was the only posthumous award after 1974.

Noble Prize - Oscar Award
No doubt "Award is "Recognisation"
But, Noble prize is being dominated because of partiality shown by Western people, We our Eastern countries should have a Prestigious award that the Noble Prize and Oscar Awards etc.,
