I haven't got Nobel Prize because I am black: Baba Ramdev

In a bizarre statement, Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Friday claimed that he was denied a Nobel Prize because he is 'black'.

According to a ETV report, Ramdev during a yoga event in Ranchi stated that he would have been honoured with the Nobel Prize by now if it wasn't for the colour of his skin.

"If I would have been a fair-skinned person, the Nobel Prize would have been awarded to me till now for my work in the field of yoga. But, it has been denied to me because I am black", Ramdev said.

Reportedly, this statement by the yoga guru came during an event in which Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das was also present.
