Being responsible as the Imam for this Ismaili community of some 15 million people, I have necessarily become a student of social problems of all kinds.

Your government, Mr. Rajaratnam, deserves congratulations for the economic miracle you have achieved, in spite of the recession in the industrialized countries.
