On February 4, media around the world reported the death of the Aga Khan, the leader of the Nizari sect of Shiites. Today, the figure of the Aga Khan is surely no longer glamorous. The Aga Khan V is a title of the past, but a few decades ago this religious leader was a character who frequently appeared in the society pages of the written press, which gave him great popularity. In Karim's case, he had held the title since 1957, after the death of his grandfather, Sultan Mahommed Shah. Curiously, his father never held the title of Aga Khan, but there was a generational leap, very similar to that of the Spanish monarchy. Now, with Karim's death, the brand new Aga Khan V is his son Rahim al-Hussaini.
