He was a university professor at the University of Louvain (UCLouvain) in Belgium, and a UNESCO fellow. He was the youngest child of Yahya Kashani (Khamei), who was one of the pioneers of Iranian Modern Journalism and the editor of Ḥabl al-matin, Majles, Irān, and Etellaat newspapers. Khamei was an activist of the Tudeh Party of Iran in the 1940s, but he quit in January 1948, and concentrated on his journalistic and academic activities. He believed in social democracy, or in other words, the Third Way, for the most of his life. Khamei was a multilinguist, being proficient in German, French, and English languages, in addition to his mother tongue Persian language, with many publications in all those languages. He died on 20 November 2018 at the age of 101 from respiratory failure. He was a descendant of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar.
