 * Keep UNESCO Chairholder, UNESCO Chair for the Promotion of the Culture of Peace and Non-Violence. Not sure which this qualifies him under but could be:
 * WP:SCHOLAR #3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association
 * WP:SCHOLAR #5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).
 * WP:SCHOLAR #7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
 * There is also "Editor of the Mathrubhumi a Malayalam-language newspaper that had a daily circulation in excess of 500,000" which is a major position. He also held other significant publishing positions.
 * There is his Political and Diplomatic work. Per WP:DIPLOMAT.
 * There is "Daxina Fellow at University of Bombay" which might qualify under WP:SCHOLAR #3.
