The Statesman Siliguri
|June 20, 2025
Sheikh Hassan Khan, a 38-year-old Kerala government employee and seasoned mountaineer, was 'rescued' from a severe blizzard at 17,000 feet on Mount Denali in Alaska, the highest peak in North America.
Khan, who has successfully scaled several major peaks across continents, was stranded along with a fellow climber during the expedition and was rescued on Wednesday.
George Mathew, Khan's friend and former colleague, told IANS that the duo endured a harrowing wait as their food and water supplies dwindled.
"Thankfully, both have been rescued and are safe. There are no serious health concerns," Mathew confirmed.

Shelved Knowledge
Independent India did not consciously ratify Macaulay's contempt; it did something less dramatic and more durable. It allowed the colonial syllabus to survive by inertia.
