On the night of April 21, 2021, the world not only lost an eminent thinker and a compassionate guide but one of the most ardent advocates of peace. Padma Vibhushan awardee Maulana Wahiduddin Khan was an intellectual giant and an erudite scholar who devoted his life in pursuance of principles of peace. His lifelong and unswerving commitment to peace was based on his underlying belief that “Peace cannot be sacrificed for anything whilst everything can be sacrificed for peace.” Wherever he went, he highlighted how “peace is the summum bonum” (Latin for ‘greater good’) and a prerequisite to everything beneficial in the world.
