==Early life==
Iyer was born Siddharth Pico Raghavan Iyer in Oxford, England, the son of Indian parents. His father was Raghavan N. Iyer, an Oxford philosopher and political theorist,〔(University of California: In Memoriam, Raghavan Iyer, 1995 )〕〔Rukun Advani, "(Mahatma for Sale )", ''The Hindu,'' 27 April 2003〕 and his mother the religious scholar Nandini Nanak Mehta.〔 Both his parents are academics who grew up in India, thereafter went to England for college education and stayed there. His unusual name is a combination of the Buddha's name, Siddhartha, that of the Florentine neo-Platonist Pico della Mirandola and his father's name. When he was seven, in 1964, his father, who taught philosophy at Oxford, started working with Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, a California-based think tank, thus the family also moved to California, as his father started teaching at University of California, Santa Barbara (1965–1986).〔 Thus for more than a decade he moved back and forth several times a year between schools and college in England and his parents' home in California. He studied at Eton, Oxford University and Harvard.
