I am happy to be part of the Wikipedia community, and look forward to making some occasional contributions to it. I am a full time employee of UNESCO, at present, since the last 5-6 years. I am am an American national but with ancestral roots in France, Britain and British India, and I hold a doctoral degree in South Asian Studies from a very famous university in the USA. This region, in particular present-day India and Pakistan, form my broad areas of specific interest; and I hope to be active generally, in looking at and editing, reviewing and assessing some articles within these parameters.
