That’s Louisiana Governor Piyush Jindal (his name’s not really Bobby) and his wife Supriya Jolly in the adjacent picture.
It’s been reported that as a boy growing up in Louisiana he preferred to go by the name Bobby.
“Bobby” Jindal has been Governor of Louisiana since Jan. 2008.
Prior to serving as Governor he was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (Louisiana – 1st District) from 2005 thru 2008.
His wife Supriya Jolly (they married in 1997) was born in New Delhi, India. Its been reported that she never really lived in India but rather that her parents (who are from India) were visiting in India when she was born. Apparently she’s spent almost her entire life living in Louisiana.
Bobby Jindal was conceived in India. He arrived in the United States when his mother was as an approximately five (5) months pregnant with him.
In 1970 his mother Raj Gupta (in India) was offered a scholarship to study at Louisiana State University. She informed the university that she couldn’t accept because she was pregnant. She changed her mind after she discovered that she would receive a month off at LSU for childbirth.
Raj Gupta and Bobby Jindal’s father, Amar Jindal, arrived in the United States on February 1, 1971. Their son was born approximately four (4) months later on June 10, 1971 at the Woman’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
In May 2011 Jindal released a certified copy of his original 1971 birth certificate (Certificate of Live Birth):
Jindal’s birth certificate includes signatures of the attending medical doctor as well as the local Registrar.
Something interesting and noteworthy which we learned recently is that Bobby Jindal’s wife Supriya Jolly worked for Monsanto (!?!?)
Monsanto is an agrochemical & agricultural biotechnology corporation. Monsanto is a giant and powerful American multinational entity which spends lots of money to influence members of US Congress.
Most Americans have probably heard of Monsanto because the corporation is steeped in controversy. Documentary films (e.g., Food Inc and The World According to Monsanto) have been made about them and they’ve dragged American farmers (and farmers across the globe) through the judicial system whenever they’ve found that their patented seeds have blown (as happens in nature) from one farmers field to another farmers field and are now growing without Monsanto’s permission. Most of the farmers who are hauled into court (and often then lose their farms) had no idea that Monsanto seeds were growing on their property.
Monsanto also claims ‘seed royalties.’ In other words, when you plant their seed and crops grow and, ultimately, produce new seeds those new seeds are also property of property of Monsanto.
We know that many readers here at WOBIK are ardent advocates of intellectual property rights and patent rights but come on…where does it end?
Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas worked as an attorney for Monsanto.
Our brief and compact article here regarding Bobby Jindal isn’t the proper venue for to write a thorough report on Monsanto. If you’ve never heard of Monsanto (I doubt it) then please consider taking a few minutes of your time to google them.
At any rate, we found it noteworthy and interesting that Bobby Jindal’s wife worked for Monsanto. Much the same way that we found it interesting and noteworthy that Ted Cruz’s wife works for Goldman Sachs (?!?!)– an American multinational investment banking firm that engages in global investment banking, securities, investment management, and other financial services primarily with institutional clients.
Not to mention that Cruz’s wife lived in Kenya as a child (?!?!)
In closing, what are your thoughts regarding Bobby Jindal and the eligibility issue? Is he eligible to be President? Directly below are some points to consider before passing judgement:
• Jindal, much like Marco Rubio, was born to non-US citizen parents.
• Something very unique about Jindal’s birth scenario is that not only was he born before his parents became US citizens but that he was ‘conceived’ in India months before his parents ever set foot in the United States.
• We’ve noted in the past that Birthers are a predominantly pro-life bunch and believe that life begins at time of conception. If that’s true then what role, if any, does conception play in defining what a natural born citizen is?
• Jindal’s wife was born in India

I’ve now added Bobby Jindal to The ineligible list (?)
Jindal’s birth certificate is clearly a fake: there’s no town called “BAton Rouge.”
@ Lucas Daniel Smith:
>>> JINDAL IS NOT , NEVER WAS , AND NEVER COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT . NEITHER OF HIS PARENTS WERE CITIZENS OF AMERICA WHEN ” BOBBY BOY ” WAS BORN .
@ bob:
>>> WRONG BOB . THERE IS A BATON ROUGE , LOUISIANA , AND ALSO A FANTASTIC RESTAURANT THERE NAMED ” DON ‘ S SEAFOOD ” .
STRANGELY ENOUGH ~ BATON ROUGE MEANS RED STICK .

Oh, there’s a “Baton Rouge”; there’s no “BAton Rouge.”
Speaking of Bobby Jindal and birth scenarios I wanted to record a quick note here that back in August of 2006 Jindal delivered his own son (Slade Ryan Jindal) at home when his wife Supriya unexpectedly went into labor.
Evidently the baby was born weighing in at 8 pounds 2 ounces, and measured 21 inches in length.
It appears that Jindal was on the phone with 911 and that he was coached on how to delivery the baby.
However, Jindal does have a medical background. He was one of 50 students nationwide admitted to the Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME) at Brown University, guaranteeing him a place in medical school. Jindal completed majors in biology and public policy. He graduated in 1991 at the age of 20, with honors in both majors.
Jindal applied to and was accepted by both Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School, but studied at New College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar.
He received an M.Litt. degree in political science with an emphasis in health policy from the University of Oxford in 1994, where the subject of his thesis was “A needs-based approach to health care.”
Maybe your crack research skills would reveal the other candidates who had their eligibility questioned: Christopher Schürmann; Charles Evans Hughes; Barry Goldwater; George Romney; Lowell Weicker; and John McCain.
In addition to Chester Arthur and Barack Obama, of course.

We are aware of them. The only name in your list that I myself hadn’t heard of is Christopher Schürmann.
You mention Lowell Weicker. We wrote an article about him a few days ago:
Was Lowell Palmer Weicker, Jr. eligible to be elected President in 1980?
Weicker is also #1 on our list of past and present potential presidential candidates who may have been (or may be) ineligible:
The ineligible list (?)
We also wrote an article in 2012 which, among other things, questioned George Romney’s (Mitt Romney’s father) eligibility:
Willard Mitt Romney’s disappointing birth certificate.
Yep. He’s eligible.
