Well, if we do look at it seriously, Amartya Sen is a Khalifatistani.
Because that is how future generations will know him. Since the UK will be officially renamed Khalifatistan in 2059*. And students from, say, Madrassah-e-Brighton or Dar-ul-uloom-Nottingham will wonder, in 2068, how a guy with a name from Al-Hind, Amar-ti-yah Sehn, came to be such a prominent Khalifatistani.
* : For those who want to know the exact date of the renaming, it is February 30, 2059. February will have 31 days, as per the Pseudosecular-i-Hind-Fatwa-Al-Modeen Act of 2054.
