1914 January - Sir Sultan Mohamed Shah, Aga Khan III wrote an article 'The Indian Muslim Outlook' which was published in the 'The Edinburgh Review' - Edinburgh, London January 1914.
He wrote about restlessness among Muslims, an alleged Pan-Islamic agitation, recent press reports from India, the need for a strong and stable Turkish Government, independence in Persia and other important issues.

He said, ' The Indian Muslim does not ask for the surrender of any British interest; he simply points out that these interests are in accord with Muslim sentiment and wishes. Yet his incursion into international politics is frowned upon in reactionary Anglo-Indian quarters as if it were in some mysterious and inexplicable way disloyal..' (Aziz; 480)
