The Imagindia Institute, a New Delhi based independent international affairs think tank, has announced its intention to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Government of India's Gandhi Peace Prize, if Trump brokers a verifiable 30-day ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war during his upcoming Alaska summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
The Gandhi Peace Prize recognizes extraordinary contributions to peace and non-violence. Past recipients include global figures like Nelson Mandela and Yohei Sasakawa, highlighting its prestigious status.
Highlighting the conditional nature of the nomination, Imagindia reiterated “guns must go totally silent”.
Robinder Sachdev, President of the Imagindia Institute, stressed upon the importance of Gandhi and his ideas and said, "Mahatma Gandhi was the apostle of peace and non-violence in the 20th century. In the long arc of history, no one before him had so powerfully and unequivocally championed a single, profound idea: non-violence."
Sachdev noted, “If President Trump can enable thirty days of non-violence in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it will be a monumental service to the families in the conflict zone and to humankind."
He added, "While past centuries were marked by the animalistic instincts of a still-evolving human race, we believe the 21st century must usher in an era where world leaders champion non-violence and embrace the principle of live-and-let-live. If they do not, their legacies will be consigned to the dust heap of history."
The Alaska Summit, scheduled for Aug. 15, 2025, will see Trump and Putin discuss a potential ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war. The meeting marks a significant diplomatic effort to address the ongoing conflict.
“Peace is the highest condition of human life—and the foundational state—of the human experience. If the Alaska summit delivers even a temporary but real halt in violence—for families and children trapped in the war zone—it will be remembered as a pivotal act of global statesmanship,” Sachdev added.
Donald Trump has, on multiple occasions, has presented himself as the harbinger of global peace. He has expressed a strong desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in mediating various global conflicts and has been nominated multiple times by countries like Pakistan, Israel, and Armenia, as well as U.S. lawmakers, for efforts such as ceasefires and peace accords.
