Rajeev Chandrasekhar is an Independent MP in Rajya Sabha from Bangalore, Karnataka


Rajeev Chandrasekhar is an Independent MP in Rajya Sabha from Bangalore, Karnataka


Rajeev Chandrasekhar is an Independent MP in Rajya Sabha from Bangalore, Karnataka, elected for a second term in 2012, unopposed and unanimously supported by all major political parties. He is, however, not a conventional MP.  Son of a senior Air Force officer born in Ahmedabad, Rajeev secured his Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology before moving to Illinois Institute of Technology in US where he did his Master's in Computer Science, and then to Harvard University for an Advanced Management Programme Degree.

Hand-picked by Vinod Dham - the father of the Pentium chip - to work at Intel after his graduation from Illinois Institute of Technology, Rajeev was a member of the architecture team in Silicon Valley that invented the 486 chip and later, Intel's signature Pentium chip.

He chased his entrepreneurial dream when he returned to India in the early 90s.  In 1994, being one of the earliest to see the potential of cellular phones in the Indian market, Rajeev founded BPL Mobile, giving the country its first and largest world-class telecom network. Rajeev is known as the poster boy of India’s telecom revolution and is widely recognised for his role in the development of the now thriving telecom sector.

In 2005, he set up Jupiter Capital, with a vision to foray into businesses of tomorrow in emerging new markets of globalizing economy of India… http://www.rajeev.in/pages/About_Rajeev.aspx

New York Times breaking news: Indian National Congress Concedes Defeat to Opposition Leader Narendra Modi

BREAKING NEWSFriday, May 16, 2014 2:37 AM EDT
Indian National Congress Concedes Defeat to Opposition Leader Narendra Modi
The Indian National Congress, which has headed India’s government for nearly all the country’s post-Independence history, formally conceded defeat to the opposition leader Narendra Modi on Friday, as voters rendered a crushing verdict on their country’s flagging economic growth and a drumbeat of corruption scandals.
Election officials had not yet finished counting the 550 million votes cast in the five-week general elections, but the contours of Congress’s defeat quickly became clear. Rahul Gandhi, the heir apparent to the political dynasty that forms Congress party’s backbone, appeared headed for a narrow victory in his own home constituency, a stronghold he won by more than 300,000 votes in 2009.

Obama’s Nuclear Leadership Opportunity

Obama’s Nuclear Leadership Opportunity

The Moderate Voice: Obama’s Nuclear Leadership Opportunity by Robin Walker

February 26th, 2009 By Guest Voice
Robin Walker

The
Truman National Security Project bills itself as “the nation’s only organization that recruits, trains, and positions a new generation of progressives across America to lead on national security.” The following essay (the first in a series for TMV) is from Robin Walker, a Project fellow. As with other “guest voice” posts, this and future contributions from the Truman Project do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the TMV editorial board or writers.
_______________________________________________

By Robin Walker, Truman National Security Project

Of the various challenges President Obama mentioned in his Tuesday evening address to Congress — two wars, a housing crisis, energy, healthcare, education, the deficit, etc. — one challenge got little attention but represents an opportunity for serious progress: nuclear weapons.

By law the President has to produce a new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) by the end of 2009. If properly handled, the NPR could improve our security, reduce the deficit, improve the United States’ standing in the world, and increase security in one of the most dangerous regions of the world, South Asia.

[…]

The longstanding India-Pakistan rivalry is frequently described as the most likely nuclear war scenario in the modern world. Since both countries demonstrated their nuclear capabilities with tests in 1998, three crises have narrowly averted escalating to the level of nuclear exchanges: the 1999 Kargil war; the 2001-2 military buildup; and the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Anything the United States can do to minimize the risk of these countries using nuclear weapons is clearly in the interest of the United States and the international community.

U.S.-India Nuclear Chickens Coming Home to Roost by Robin Walker

U.S.-India Nuclear Chickens Coming Home to Roost by Robin Walker

http://www.allourmight.com/?p=210

October 27th, 2008 by Jim Arkedis

The following is the latest in our series from fellows in the Truman National Security Project. Robin Walker writes:

The recently-completed U.S.-India civilian nuclear deal put a major crack in the nonproliferation dam of the non-proliferation treaty (NPT), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). That’s in addition to the the announcement last week that China will build two nuclear reactors in Pakistan. The next president will have to move quickly to prevent the complete destruction of the existing nonproliferation regime and a potentially rapid spread of nuclear weapons that could follow.

Under the U.S.-India deal, the United States agreed to provide nuclear fuel for India and enable U.S. firms to sell nuclear it technology. In exchange, India will allow international inspectors and IAEA safeguards at their civilian (but not military) nuclear sites.

The deal is controversial because it would give India—a non-signer of the NPT like neighbor Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel—the de facto rights of a nuclear weapons state under the NPT, which bans nuclear trade with non-signers and non-nuclear countries.

[…]

Options for the next president include:
