EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, His Highness Sultan Sir Mohammed Shah Aga Khan III, a prominent Indian Muslim leader, is seen engrossed in the pages of The Tatler magazine. The image, taken in 1915, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of this influential figure who played a significant role in international politics and diplomacy during the early 20th century. Born in 1877, Aga Khan III was the 48th hereditary Imam of the Ismaili Muslims, a branch of Shia Islam. He was known for his modernizing reforms and his active participation in various international conferences, including the League of Nations. Aga Khan's relationship with British society was strong, and he was a close friend of King George V. During World War I, Aga Khan III provided valuable support to the Allies. He raised funds, recruited troops, and served as a liaison between the British government and the Muslim community in India. His efforts were crucial in maintaining the loyalty of Muslim soldiers in the British army, which was essential for the Allied war effort. The photograph of Aga Khan III reading The Tatler is a testament to his multifaceted persona. It underscores his connection to British society and his interest in Western culture. The magazine, known for its coverage of fashion, society, and current events, was a popular read among the British elite. Aga Khan's association with The Tatler further highlights his cosmopolitan outlook and his ability to navigate the complexities of interfaith and international relations during a time of global upheaval. This historical image offers a fascinating insight into the life of a remarkable leader who straddled the worlds of religion, politics, and society, and whose contributions to the Allied war effort remain an essential chapter in the annals of history.
