Prince Nawab Mir Mohsin Ali Khan

Prince Nawab Mir Mohsin Ali Khan belongs to the family of the Nizam and was born in his family home Khanabagh Palace. He was brought up in the Nizam’s family school attending lectures given by many scholars including Sir Nizamat Jung who was the school governor. They were taught in the Sufi traditions where worldly things are immaterial.

This is a Sufi poem, which led Prince Mohsin to serve humanity.

Though a lonely dreamer
Let me dream to find the realities
In the heart of all that seems.
Let each drawn breath bring light to make
Our darkness disappear
And mirror forth the real in our dream.


He started Multi religious activities. On a very small scale he stared a Muslim ,Jewish and Christian Society here in the UK. Then he started the same activities under the name of 'One Nation of All Faiths' in which he promoted dialogues between people of all religions while visiting Synagogues ,Churches and Temples.

He received two Honorary Doctorates , one of Humanities .the other of Literature, plus being the recipient of several other Awards and Titles. He also received The Freedom of the City of London.

In 1994 and again in 1995, when Sir Edward Heath represented the UK, he represented the Indo-Pak Sub Continent at the world Peace Conference held in South Korea. His aim was to see the sub continent of South Asia( India, Pakistan, Bangladesh Shri Lanka & Nepal) IPBSN as a mini Commonwhealth.

In the words of Mr Reginald Massey he can only be described as 'A Prince for All Seasons' Prince Mohsin is associated with and advocates a well represented world Parliament to be concerned with the entire planet. His humbleness has not lost the common touch. Further in the words of Mr Reginald Massey, he fulfils Kipling's prescription for the complete man He is not yesterday's man. On the contrary his passion for the future of humanity proclaimed he is Tomorrow's Man.

In fact in 2012 he won The Brain Trust's Brain of the Year, given to those with exceptional mental prowess who have used their talents to serve others. He also became a Patron of the Maidstone Museum.

In 2012 The World Peace and Prosperity Foundation was formed and is now celebrating it's 5th Award Winners Dinner at the House of Lords.
