Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

“Imam Hussain’s (A.S) sacrifice is for all groups and communities, an example of the path of rightousness.”

Reynold Alleyne Nicholson

"Hussain (A.S) fell, pierced by an arrow, and his brave followers were cut down beside him to the last man. Muhammadan tradition, which with rare exceptions is uniformly hostile to the Umayyad dynasty, regards Hussain (A.S) as a martyr and Yazid as his murderer."
[A Literary History of the Arabs, Cambridge, 1930, p197]

Edward Gibbon

"In a distant age and climate the tragic scene of the death of Hussain (A.S) will awaken the sympathy of the coldest reader."
[The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, London, 1911, volume 5, pp391-2]

“In order to keep alive justice and truth, instead of an army or weapons, success can be achieved by sacrificing lives, exactly what Imam Hussain (A.S) did.”

“The sacrifice of Imam Hussain (A.S) is not limited to one country, or nation, but it is the hereditary state of the brotherhood of all mankind.”

Dr. Radha Krishnan

“Though Imam Hussain (A.S) gave his life almost 1300 years ago, but his indestructible soul rules the hearts of people even today.”

Swami Shankaracharya

“It is Hussain’s (A.S) sacrifice that has kept Islam alive or else in this world there would be no one left to take Islam's name.”
