==Background== [[File:Gyantse Dzong4.jpg|thumb|right|Gyantse Fortress in Tibet, where Callimachi traveled for the RGS]]
Callimachi was named "Rukmini" (Sanskrit {{transliteration|sa|Rukmiṇī}} (Devanagari: {{langx|sa|रुक्मिणी}} {{IPA|sa|rukmiɳiː|ipa}}) after the Indian theosophist Rukmini Devi Arundale, founder of Kalakshetra Foundation in Chennai, India, with whom her family was close.<ref name="Twitter">{{cite web |title=Rukmini Callimachi-Rukmini Arundale |url=https://twitter.com/rcallimachi/status/526416344997457920 |access-date=10 January 2015}}</ref> Her original surname was Sichitiu. She is the stepdaughter of Mihai Botez, a scientist and dissident who opposed the Romanian communist regime.<ref name="boieri"/> Along her maternal lines, she descends from the Callimachi family of Phanariotes (which is also Greco-Romanian), an ancestral lineage traced back to Eufrosina Callimachi, daughter of ''Hospodar'' Scarlat Callimachi.<ref name="boieri"/> Rukmini changed her last name to Callimachi to honor this legacy.<ref name="boieri"/>
Rukmini Sichitiu left Romania in 1979 at age five. Her mother and grandmother had taken her on a trip to Switzerland, during which they defected. Rukmini's father remained in Bucharest to alleviate suspicions and finally joined them in 1980.<ref name="boieri"/> As she recalls, she had a hard time fitting into Swiss society. Four years later, her parents separated. While her father stayed in Lausanne, Rukmini and her mother left for Ojai, California, where Rukmini attended primary school.<ref name="boieri"/> She later graduated from The Oak Grove School and The Thacher School, both in Ojai, California. She earned diplomas from Dartmouth College and from Exeter College at the University of Oxford, where she did graduate studies in linguistics.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/articles/beat-terror|title=The Beat of Terror|last=Reid|first=Stuart|date=Jul–Aug 2015|work=Dartmouth Alumni Magazine|access-date=2018-07-09}}</ref>

In May 2018, the reliability of Huzaifa's story had drawn the concern of journalists at CBC News. According to a report by CBC's Diana Swain, key elements of Huzaifa's story in ''Caliphate'' did not match what he told CBC in September 2017. This led CBC reporters to wonder if Huzaifa lied to either CBC or to ''The New York Times''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/isis-abu-huzaifa-investigators-1.4669769 |title=Did former Canadian ISIS member lie to the New York Times or to CBC News? |date=19 May 2018 |publisher=CBC News |first=Diana |last=Swain}}</ref> In September 2020, the Canadian Abu Huzaifa, whose real name was Shehroze Chaudhry, was arrested by Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and charged under Canadian hoax laws for fabricating his story on social media of traveling to Syria and joining ISIS, which was covered by the ''Caliphate'' podcast produced by ''The New York Times''.
