Kanti Bajpai

Kanti Bajpai

Indian TV's most popular face on international affairs, Professor Kanti Bajpai, is the current Headmaster of The Doon School, Dehra Dun, India.

Bajpai graduated from Doon in 1972; his father, a former ambassador to Canada had also been educated at Doon. An uncle also became a diplomat.

Bajpai was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and an Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of British Columbia. After graduating he returned to Doon and taught there in 1981. In 1982 he returned to the United States to do a PhD in Political Science from the University of Illinois.

He returned to India in 1989 taught at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda for three years, after which he went back to the United States to teach. In 1993 he returned again to India to the Institute of Contemporary Studies of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation.

In 1994 he joined Jawaharlal Nehru University to teach disarmament, security and arms control, where he became one of JNU's most respected and beloved ex-professors. He brought a world class standard of pedagogy to the school and under his tutelage, the school produced some fine students.

Bajpai is one of India's most prolific and influential international relations scholars. The 1998 nuclear bomb tests cast the spotlight on Bajpai who was firmly opposed to the tests and spoke and wrote about it with clarity and reason that was in short supply during that time.

Mr. Bajpai has edited and written a number of influential and prolific articles and books since his JNU days, including Roots of Terrorism amongst many others.

He lives with his wife and two children. * [http://www.doonschool.com/m2016/interview.htm Interview With Dr. Kanti Bajpai]
