Thanks for the interesting detective work. He seems to have had a very
distinguished career - one that is not that of a charlatan.
But how could somebody with such a distinguished record suddenly promote all
these weird ideas? Is he becoming unbalanced? Is my information incorrect?
If the attack on Hawking occurred as reported, that behavior is
unprofessional at best.

Hi Norman,
On a lark I Googled and found:
http://www.igcar.ernet.in/igc2004/balbio.htm
"His specializations include materials characterization, testing and
evaluation using nondestructive evaluation methodologies, materials
development and performance assessment and technology management. He has
steered and participated in many national programmes of great significance
namely DST project on Intelligent Processing of Materials, Characterization
of Cultural Heritage, IAF programmes of ageing management, Dept. of Space
and Dept. of Defence programmes. He has 33 years of experience, which has
led to many first of its kind observations and discoveries in the field of
materials characterization and applications. He is known for his
contributions to KAMINI Reactor, hot cell facilities for examination and
reprocessing of fuels and reactor technology particularly in the area of
materials and manufacturing technologies. "
Charlatan, maybe...
