What's in a name: Mumbai police commissioner Ahmad Javed talks about his first name

Ahmad Javed, Mumbai police commissioner and the next Indian ambassador to Saudi Arabia, clarifies if his first name is Ahmad or Javed?

"I have stuck to Javed for now. But it 's a bit complicated. In India, we have various ways of writing a name. In north India, the surname comes last. In the south, it usually comes first. I am from North India, but my name is written in a south Indian style. I don't know why my dad kept it like that. For the last 55 years I have been wondering about this but I have no answer to that. My first name is Javed but it is written as my second name."
