A Tribute to the Aga Khan 50 Years Ago, as He Celebrated 15 Years as the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Ismaili Muslims

“If it be true that a true test of really great man, as Brougham teaches usis that he be endowed with three remarkable attributes, namely, (a) generosity in design; (b) humanity in execution; and (c) moderation in success, then I have not the ­slightest hesitation in saying that the Aga Khan answers that test adequately. He is an inde­fatigable worker and has a tre­mendous power of uptake. He has a way of bearing the burdens of the leadership he is called upon to provide, cheerfully. He is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menace and his reliance on truth, on virtue and on God who, after all is their source and sanction, is ever so unfaltering” — A. K.
