In the sad demise of Dr
Asghar Ali Engineer,India has lost one of her great
souls.
A reformist who
feared no one, Dr. Engineer championed the rights of ALL-within his own
community and outside. His pursuit for scholarship was legendary and few could
match his intellectual prowess. His social commitment transcended the narrow
confines of any particular religion.
He was a deeply religious person and at the same time an avowed secularist
The secular and the civil rights movement in the country has truly lost
someone who was looked upon as an inspirer, friend, mentor and guide!He will be greatly missed!
May he rest in peace!
Our condolences to his bereaved family!
