Five Indian American students have won the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships, worth USD 90,000 for over two years for New Americans.
Samir Mayekar, Aadel Chaudhuri, Deepa Galaiya, Vivek Ramaswamy and Shankar Sarkar are the recipients of the fellowship.
Mayekar, of Houston, worked on the Obama for America campaign as its budget manager, managing about USD 600 million in campaign contributions and assisted the chief financial officer in operating the first major presidential campaign to exist outside the public financing system.
After Obama’s victory, he joined the transition team and eventually served as National Security Director in the White House’s Presidential Personnel Office, where he managed the selection process for presidential appointees at all national security agencies.
Presently, he is the deputy chief of staff at the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

Excerpt:
The UN, on Oct. 18, added Muhammad Jamal al Kashef - who previously served as a bodyguard to Al Qaeda chief, Ayman al Zawahiri - to its its list of individuals and entities subject to sanctions, including the freezing of assets, travel bans etc.
However, Mr. Joscelyn notes that, although the State Department - like the UN - added al Kashef to its list of designated terrorists, and although the State Department’s report on al Kashef contains many of the details mentioned in the UN report, nevertheless two key elements in the UN report, pertaining to al Kashef’s terrorist activities, were omitted from the State Department’s report.
The UN report notes that al Kashef - who previously served as a bodyguard to Al Qaeda chief Ayman al Zawahiri - and members of al Kashef’s terrorist network are “reported to be involved in the attack on the United States Mission in Benghazi, Libya, on 11 Sep. 2012.”
But the State Department, in its report, blatantly omitted this fact.
