India West featured Finance Professor P.V. Viswanath in "Indian American Professor Was Interpreter for Attempt to Save Jewish family During 26/11 Terror Strike"
An Indian American professor, who spoke to one of the Pakistani terrorists in a bid to save a Jewish family held hostage during the 26/11 terror strike in 2008, recalled the eerie calm with which the man spoke. P.V. Viswanath recalled in an article that the terrorist, who identified himself as 'Imran' and was later identified as Imran Babar, demanded to speak to an Indian government official and then wanted one of his fellow terrorists, who was captured, brought to him. Viswanath's family is originally from the Palakkad area in Kerala. He is now a finance professor at Pace University in New York.
