  2. Dear Uncle:

    This is Ji Xianlin, the famous linguist and writer, who was the first Chinese person to get a Padma Bhushan.

    I’m going for the theme: China.

    Kind regards,
    Thomas Masun

  7. Ji Xianlin ,the indologist was conferred the Padma Bhushan by the Indian government.

  8. Ji Xianlin who won the Padma Bhushan.

    I vaguely remembered reading about him because of an article talking of the Padma Bhushan winners which had my ex school principal´s name in it, but this info has surprisingly not made it to wikipedia yet (although Dr. Chona has!)

  9. Padma Bushan was given to Chinese Indologist Ji Xianlin by the indian government.

  10. After putting much struggle on Google with search words like Chinese + Man + Honour figured out that this person is Ji Xianlin – an indologist who was given the Padma Bhushan by the Govt of India and hence the first Chinese to get this award. I hope this is the answer.

  11. Prof. Ji Xianlin from China, an Indologist and Sanskrit expert who received the Padma Bhushan

  13. This is Ji Xianlin, the Chinese scholar and Indologist awarded a Padma Bhushan last Republic Day, for his contributions to the scholarship of Sanskrit in China. I think he also translated the Ramayana into Mandarin, in verse.

  15. Ji Xianlin,
    the Chinese sanskrit teacher who won the Padma Bhushan this year.
