Dubai, 20 November 2016 — A book launch was held for Into that Heaven of Freedom, written by Dr Mohamed Keshavjee, a renowned South African-born scholar and winner of the prestigious Gandhi King Ikeda Award for Peace. The event was held at the Ismaili Centre, Dubai in collaboration with Consulate General of India in Dubai. His Excellency Manabile Shogole, South African Consul General in Dubai, also attended the event.
Dr Keshavjee described the early struggles of the South African Ismaili families and some of the people amongst whom they lived. It was also the period when the late Mahatma Gandhi was practicing law in South Africa. The event provided a fascinating interaction between the author and the audience, which was moderated by Sajida H. Shroff, a distinguished educationist.
