She is no longer active on Wikipedia, otherwise she would have added the links needed, he flies through WP:NACADEMIC as the Vice Chancellor of Shivaji University from 1983-1986 listed here. I can repair it for her. Disclosure: She is his daughter, my wife so I will do it with a COI disclosure via WP:AfC.
