Madhu S Yaskhi, a name to be reckoned in the international
community as a legal professional who had helped many
Indian brethren solve their problems amicably in an
alien land. In a profession where people make a mark
after long periods of service, Madhu had made a name
for himself by delivering legal service to expatriate
communities, particularly Indians having problems
in America. He had founded the International Legal
and Trade Consultants and through this organization
he had been able to impart valuable legal help to
solve personal problems of people of Indian origin
and also businesses started by them. According to
him, many Indians and in specific the Telugu speaking
are in the forefront of computer revolution both in
India and in the United States of America. Madhu had
been behind the success of many among them.
Born on 15 December 1960 to Y. Kistaiah and Y. Sulochana
in a middle class agricultural family in Hayatnagar,
Madhu has six sisters and four brothers. He is the
second among them. His father’s younger brother
Y. Pochaiah and wife Y. Anasuya adopted Madhu.
Regarding his education, Madhu studied in the local
Zilla Parishad School. Later he completed his intermediate
education from the City College with BPC (Biology,
Physics and Chemistry) group; and then, his Bachelors
Degree with Arts from the Nizam’s College. He
finished his LLB from Delhi University between 1982-85;
and later LLM from Osmania University. Though an average
student, he managed to get a double promotion from
Third standard to Fifth standard.
Almost all sports attracted Madhu. He used to play
Ball badminton and was the captain of the team in
his intermediate days. Reading also was one of his
hobbies. He developed keen interest in reading Telugu
literature and History. At a very young age, he read
almost all the books of the great Telugu scholar Vishwanatha
Satyanarayana.
Madhu had the qualities of a leader right from early
childhood. Even in school, from First standard onwards,
except for one year, he was the class leader. When
he was in the eighth standard, he participated in
the school elections and was elected General Secretary.
This was an overwhelming achievement for Madhu as
the two other candidates who contested with him were
tenth class students. Sidelining them, the students
had voted in Madhu’s favour. This was a clear
indication of Madhu’s leadership qualities. While
in the tenth class, he was elected President of the
school.
Even in college, there was no set back to his leadership
qualities. Change of atmosphere and place did not
cause any hindrance or we can say that he did not
allow hindrances to block his way to success. Even
in college, he was the Vice President of the Student’s
Union of PG College and Nizam College Students Union.
While doing his LLM, he was the University Law College
President. And now, he is contesting for the forthcoming
Lok Sabha elections with the Congress ticket, with
an innate desire to serve the poor, downtrodden and
needy people, especially of Andhra Pradesh.
He married Dr Shuchee, a gynecologist in the year
1991. The couple have two children. Madhu’s father
died in a road accident in the year 1990. As there
was no immediate medical attention, his condition
deteriorated and he died. Madhu was very much moved
by the sudden demise of his father in such a tragic
way and this incident left a deep impact on his life.
It also inspired him to become a cause for giving
life to many accident victims and thus encouraged
wife Dr Shuchee to change her subject from gynecology
to endocrinology. Dr Shuchee had worked successfully
in many hospitals in the United States of America.
And now, she returned to India, for the sake of her
children’s education and also with an intention
to settle down in one place
