Aga Khan IV Named Leader Of Ismaili Moslems At Age 20
Geneva reports that Karim, Harvard student and grandson of Aga Khan III, is proclaimed 9th spiritual leader of Ismaili Shia Moslems in Asia and Africa. He is half English, a quarter Italian, a quarter Persian, and known for his scholarship, athleticism, and devotion to education. His role carries religious authority and influence over charitable and educational foundations built by the Aga. Karim’s close ties to his mother and Aly Khan frame his ascent as youthful leadership amid regional expectations.
