Dosco diplomats
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Doon School has produced several senior members of the diplomatic corps of India and Pakistan. In India, seven Doscos have served the Secretary for External Affairs, effectively the top diplomat for the country. Most Doscos who joined the civil service came from the earlier classes of the 1930s-1960s; graduates in more recent decades have tended, almost overwhelming, towards careers in consulting, business, journalism, etc. so this list may not grow very much in the future.
Doscos who have served as ambassadors of India and Pakistan include the following:
