A popular Italian magazine has recommended Archbishop Thomas Menamparampil of Guwahati for the Nobel peace prize. Il Bollettino Salesiano, in its June edition, published a four-page story entitled “A Bishop for Nobel Prize.” The magazine, which was established in 1877, has wide circulation all over Italy. The 74-year old archbishop has successfully led seven major peace initiatives in the last 15 years. The Joint Peace Team (JPT) of northeast India under his leadership intervened in the following conflicts: Bodo-Adivasi (1996), Kuki-Paite (1998), Dimasa-Hmar (2003), Karbi-Kuki (2003), Dimasa-Karbi (2004), Bodo-Muslim at Udalguri (2010) and Rabha-Garo (2011).
