She has the best possible education from bottom to top. Yet she makes a grave error in explaining her name. Parveen is not a Semitic-name but a pure Aryan-name thus, it has nothing to do with Semitic-Islam or any other Semitic religion. It is an Aryan that is Avestan-Sanskrit based name. both Avestan-Persian and Rigvedic-Sanskrit have a common proto-Aryan mother language.
