Syed Jenab Ali—Distinguished Baha’i Leader |
He was very sorry to learn of the illness of Syed Jenab Ali
and since the receipt of your letter, he has been extremely
grieved to learn of his passing. His sudden departure throws a
shadow of gloom upon all of us here and in India and while
Burma loses a distinguished and truly earnest Baha’i leader, it
must be especially unfortunate to you that just at a time when
you were considering and preparing the ground for Government
Recognition and a temporary consideration of Baha’i laws,
you were deprived of his valued cooperation. The Cause in
India is as yet in such a tender age that we can ill afford the
loss of those few that keep the torch aflame.

The news of the passing of our dear and able friend and
collaborator Syed Jenab Ali has brought profound sorrow to
our hearts. He leaves a great gap behind him. I hope that
the friends far from feeling disheartened and discouraged at
such a great loss will arise and redouble their efforts in order
to compensate for the loss which they have sustained. Kindly
assure his relatives of my deep grief, and my prayers for his
departed soul.
