Ismaili Jamatkhana Glenview – Book Discussion with Dr. Mohamed Keshavjee

Discussion of the book, “Into that Heaven of Freedom” by author, Dr. Mohamed Keshavjee. The book speaks of the Sub-Continent Indian settlement in South Africa through the eyes of a family, but encompasses two great moral giants of the 20th Century: Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.

Sunday, March 27, 2016 from 2:30 – 5:30pm
Glenview Ismaili Jamatkhana, 100 Shermer Rd., Glenview, IL

This book captures the history of the South African Ismaili families and some of the people among whom they lived from 1894, when the first Ismaili, Jeevan Keshavjee, left Kathiawad (Gujarat) and arrived in South Africa, up to 1994, when the country attained its multiparty democracy following the release of Nelson Mandela.
