President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania Awarded the Third World Prize by Indira Gandhi | February 1982

Monday, February 22nd 1982. Footage of President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania being awarded the 1981 Third World Prize in New Delhi by Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India. The announcement was made by His Excellency Shridath Ramphal, the Chairman of the Third World Prize Committee. Also known by the informal forename of "Sonny", Ramphal was a long-term Secretary General of the Commonwealth. Transcript: Chairman Ramphal: "I invite you to present the Third World prize for 1981 to (Mwalimu) Julius Nyerere and in so doing to address us." Prime Minister Gandhi: "I have long fought against phrases such as Third World. It was undeniable that the developing countries have a common bond in that they are industrially backward and are discriminated against. But why should one group of countries claim to belong to the Fourth World? Studies have shown how language subtly projects images which condition our thinking to the groups of people, women, for instance, or, for a long time, black people. Does our social attitude and our feelings of inferiority become imbedded in our subconscious? So I shall not quarrel with the name you have chosen and we are here to honour one who richly deserves it. Honours are not new to Julius Nyerere. A few years ago, in this very hall, I had the privilege of awarding him the Jawarhalal Nehru award for international understanding." President Nyerere: "I have claimed that the Third World does exist. And has a meaning that can be used for the betterment of the well-being of the masses of the people. I have suggested that we need to reject the notion that the world's goals, or our goals, have inevitable been set by the technological and social patterns of the North. Indeed I have argued that only disaster can befall the Third World if it continues to try to catch up with the North. Instead I have argued, through self-reliance, the organised cooperation on a South-South basis, can, even in the existing adverse economic circumstances, promote our own declared national objectives."
