Since I became the Imam of the Ismaili community a little over twenty years ago, I have marvelled at the social conscience of the people of this great sub-continent. Wherever they are, whatever their activities, no matter their ages or wealth, they are consistently concerned with each other's well being and I am convinced there is more spontaneous humanitarian and philanthropic activity in this part of the world than any other

World War I (1914-1919) was one of the deadliest wars in history; an estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military operation, hunger, and disease. Millions more died as a result of genocide, dearth and the devastation of the war heavily contributed to the Spanish flu pandemic that followed.
