About the Book

His Highness the Aga Khan, Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah was a direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad and the spiritual head of millions of Ismailis living across the world. He was a statesman with an international reputation. Providing rich insights into the multifaceted personality of the Aga Khan, this book explores something of what he had done and said as well as how he had achieved a position for himself which had been rivaled by none of his contemporaries. Tracing his descent from Ali who married Fatimah, the only daughter of the Prophet Muhammad by his first wife Khadijah, it describes his ancestry, with special focus on the lives and achievements of his grandfather and father the Aga Khan Hussain Ali Shah and Aga Khan Aly Shah. Also, it examines the role of Aga khan in India's struggle for independence, as also his contributions towards world peace and educational development.
