Prince Karim Aga Khan's legacy will continue to flourish through his philanthropic philosophy and deeds
KARIM AGA KHAN (1936-2025)
PRINCE KARIM AGA KHAN, the 49th hereditary imam of the Ismaili Muslims, died on February 4 in Lisbon, at the age of 88. His son is now the 50th imam in an unbroken chain claiming direct descent from Prophet Muhammad. He was anointed the 49th imam and fourth Aga Khan in 1957 while he was a 20-year-old Harvard sophomore. His grandfather, the third Aga Khan, ignored his own son, who was in the direct line of succession, and instead chose Prince Karim. He held the position of imam and the title of fourth Aga Khan for 67 years. He was also designated 'His Highness' by Queen Elizabeth II early in his imamat. The title of Aga Khan is a hereditary one that was granted by the shah of Persia in 1817 to the 46th Ismaili imam and continues to be used to this day.

Indian Army men fighting for the British against the Japanese were also patriots
Readers in India may be misled by the title of Gautam Hazarika's new book, The Forgotten Indian Prisoners of World War II: Surrender, Loyalty, Betrayal and Hell. It is not about the INA prisoners who were put on trial in the Red Fort by the British. This book is about those Indian soldiers who fought the Japanese in Singapore, Malaya and Burma alongside the British, and who had to surrender, were taken prisoner, put to torture and hard labour by the Japanese, refused to join the INA, and faced death or managed to escape. While recounting their stories, Hazarika also gives an insight into the INA movement. Edited excerpts from an interview with the author:

The parietal lobe
If the frontal lobe is where we decide what to do, the parietal lobe is where we understand where we are. It is the brain's internal GPS, the quiet navigator that lets you put your hand exactly where your teacup is, find the edge of a staircase without staring at it, or scratch the correct side of your head when it itches. When it works well, we move through life gracefully. When it falters, life becomes slapstick comedy.

Area of the globe? Pie is cubed
Floating in his private pool, China's helmsman Mao Zedong shared his strategic vision with visiting Soviet strongman Nikita Khrushchev in 1958: \"You look after Europe, and leave Asia to us.\" Obviously, he expected the US to withdraw into its prewar Monroe world of the Americas, thus making the world tripolar.
