No.
Sounds like an Indian name to me.
Srinivasan’s father was a professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas, and his mother taught at the Kansas City Art Institute and later worked at the University of Kansas computer science department. Srinivasan graduated from Lawrence High School in Lawrence, where he played basketball, sharing the court with future NBA star Danny Manning.
Srinivasan earned a bachelor’s degree in 1989 from Stanford University and then earned a J.D./M.B.A. in 1995 from Stanford Law School and Stanford Graduate School of Business.
After law school, Srinivasan worked as a law clerk for United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III and then was a clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
Haven’t met a single Indian muslim with a Sri-something name. No - he’s Hindu or athiest.
He’s a Hindu.
Naw - sounds like a very typical Indian name. I work in IT, so I know lots of Indians, almost all of them very nice people. The Indians on the business side can be real dicks, though.
(I think it was Dinesh D'Souza who once said, "The British colonized my country... Thank God!")
Why doesn’t the boy king just nominate himself. It’s not like he’s that busy in his day job.

I’m surprised he’s a hindu. I expected a muslim.
The Lawrence, Kansas native most famously argued against the Defense of Marriage Act while he was the Obama Administration’s principal deputy solicitor general.
His claim to fame is gay rights.
I thought they just voted to keep Sirhan Sirhan in jail for another 5 years?
And this is a Judeo-Christian country with a constitution based on Biblical principles. Can’t OZero find ONE good Christian lawyer? Of course, look at who we’re dealing with here. Everything Obingo does is an affront to Christians, especially white ones.
Iâm surprised heâs a hindu. I expected a muslim.
I did too.
Everything Obingo does is an affront to Christians, especially white ones.
That’s for certain.
Thank God Sen. Jeff sessions is on the Judiciary Committee.
Sri is generally a Hindu name. Muslims hate Hindus, usually, and in any case, Hinduism is not a nationalist program (unlike Islam, an Arab nationalist movement). But it can sometimes be too involved with India and Indian politics.
Somebody said that Hinduism is like Roman religion before Christianity...a vague idea of a main god, and tons of little local gods, but coupled with a sort of moral/ethical code that was essentially natural law.
