An Ismaili Reflects on the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II

Abstract: Ameer Janmohamed, proudly British, contributes a timely piece as Britons and millions around the world rejoice in the completion of Queen Elizabeth's 60 year reign. Janmohamed connects the Queen's Jubilee celebrations with the Ismailis' own celebrations over the past 80 years of the Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilees of their beloved 48th/49th Imams and asks the Ismaili community to peep into their recent past. Links are provided to some fascinating reads and photos of the Imamat Jubilees while excerpts from the Memoirs of Aga Khan reflect on the Victorian and Elizabethan eras.
