Is Arfa Khanum Sherwani Married To A CIA Agent?

An X handle named OSINTWa has uncovered exclusive revelations about Leftist-Islamist propaganda outlet The Wire’s reporter Arfa Khanum Sherwani, shedding light on her biased and anti-India narrative under the guise of journalism. She has also recently peddled a misleading notion that reporting in Kashmir is arduous for journalists. Delving into the origins of her journalistic ethos has long been a subject of intrigue. However, for the first time, OSINTWa exposes the influential source behind her skewed reporting – her enigmatic marriage.

Arfa Khanum Sherwani has kept her marital status clandestine, but this secrecy is now out in the open. Her husband is Azim Khan, a former “Political Analyst” for the US government.

Incidentally, here’s what the job description of CIA’s “political analyst” reads:

Intelligence agents are usually based in a country’s embassy of the host country.

This revelation prompts scrutiny into Khan’s role within the US government, particularly his involvement with the Embassy of the USA in India and his facilitation work for the Ford Foundation in 2006. Such connections raise questions about the potential influence on Arfa’s journalistic integrity and the objectivity of her reporting.

Interestingly, Azim Khan holds positions as the director of SIT’s International Honors Program in human rights and co-chair of the MA in Global Health at the School for International Training, as listed on SIT’s website. Sophia Howlett currently serves as the president of SIT. A closer examination of Sophia’s background reveals her extensive experience with the Open Society Foundations, where she has been involved as a Veteran Open Society Institute International Policy Fellow, consultant, trainer, speaker, and evaluator.

This is not the first instance SIT has been highlighted in connections to Anti-India propaganda. Previously, attention was drawn to an SIT alumna, Rebecca “Becky” Norman, who has played a significant role alongside Sonam Wangchuk. Norman, an SIT graduate, has been instrumental in supporting Wangchuk’s initiatives. From Rebecca to Azim Khan, it seems SIT alumni consistently demonstrate extraordinary Anti-India sentiments.

Furthermore, allegations regarding Arfa’s purported CIA connections emerged in September 2018 when she participated in a three-week fellowship program organized by the East West Center (EWC) and visited the Pentagon. Over time, suspicions have arisen linking the EWC to the CIA.

Steve Pieczenik, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, asserted that the EWC has historical links to the CIA. Situated at the University of Hawaii, the EWC was established by the U.S. Congress in 1960 with the official aim of fostering relations and understanding among the peoples and nations of the Asia-Pacific region and the United States.

Victor Marchetti, a former CIA officer disillusioned with the agency, published “The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence” in 1974. In his book, Marchetti highlighted the CIA’s collaboration with universities, including the recruitment of professors to identify potential recruits from third world countries.

Investigative reporter Wayne Madsen suggested that the EWC is among the universities involved in such activities, particularly targeting South Asian countries. Howard P. Jones, who served as Chancellor of the EWC from 1965 onwards, had previous ties to the CIA, having served as the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia during the planning of the 1965 overthrow of Sukarno.

Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother, was also affiliated with the EWC and allegedly recruited by the CIA. It’s claimed that she met Obama’s father while working there and, under CIA directives, both assisted in Indonesia during a regime change operation. Arfa’s association with the EWC, her frequent visits to the USA, and her involvement in anti-India propaganda and protests have raised suspicions. However, verifying any potential ties to intelligence agencies remains the responsibility of government authorities.
