Know more about Dr. Subramanian Swamy


Dr. Subramanian Swamy is the current President of the Janata Party (founded by Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan in 1977). 

Dr. Swamy completed his Masters in Statistics at the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta, and thereafter went to Harvard University for doctorate (Ph.D) in economics on scholarship. At Harvard, he worked with Nobel Laureate Simon Kuznets and jointly authored papers with another Nobel Laureate, Paul. A Samuelson. Dr. Swamy taught Economics at Harvard University for several years (1963-69, 1985-86). For 22 years, Dr. Swamy was professor of Economics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi. Dr. Swamy is a linguist and is proficient in Tamil, Hindi, English and Chinese. I could find that he is author of at least 17 books and many research papers. 

On the personal front, he met his wife-to-be at Harvard. His wife is an PhD in Mathematics and presently an advocate at the Supreme Court of India. They have two daughters. 

The court cases he has filed has become part of India's history. 2G scam won't have led to the arrest of A. Raja without Dr. Swamy who filed a case in Supreme Court which then asked CBI to produce a detailed report. His case in High Court led to apology from Sonia Gandhi for presenting false information about her education (degree). He has also filed a case in Supreme Court for protection to Ram Setu and to prevent its demolition. And then, as the legend says, he is the person who was responsible for preventing Sonia Gandhi from becoming India's Prime Minister... 

In his most recent exposure, Dr. Swamy has made astounding revelations on the Nehru-Gandhi Dynasty:
