British Indian entrepreneur Karan Bilimoria and Prof Kamlesh Patel, an academic and government advisor with expertise in mental health, drugs and ethnicity, have been recommended by the House of Lords Appointments Commission to be made peers. The seven-member list will go to Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has promised to accept the Commission's recommendations and pass them to the Queen.
Karan Bilimoria who is the son of an Indian army general came to Britain for his higher education at age 19. A general dissatisfaction with the gassy and heavy British beer that just did not go well with Indian food, led in 1990 to his starting the lighter Cobra super premium beer - the British beer of Indian origin. Cobra, which was initially brewed in Bangalore and shipped to Britain, is today one of the fastest-growing beer brands in Britain and the recipient of numerous Monde Selection gold medals - the spirits equivalent of the Oscars.
