SIR SYED AHMED KHAN: HIS LIFE AND CONTRIBUTION Sir Syed’s vision and his laborious efforts to meet the demands of challenging times are highly commendable. The dark post 1857 era was indeed hopeless and only Sir Syed could penetrate through its thick veil to visualize the Nation’s destinies. He rightly believed that the past had its merits and its legacies were valuable but it was the future that a society was called upon to cope with. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (1817-1898) was a great visionary‚

The Travels of Marco Polo and the Reception of Kublai Kahn Marco Polo was a Venetian Christian diplomat that gained the trust of one of the most powerful men in history: Kublai Khan.

The Travels of Marco Polo My ignorance and general distaste for history are likely to blame‚ but I‚ for one‚ was surprised to learn that Marco Polo is an actual person. Of course‚ I figured there was some significance to the phrase beyond its use as a swimming pool game‚ where a blindfolded individual closes their eyes‚ calls out‚ “Marco‚” and tries to tag other players by tracking down their mandatory responses of‚ “Polo.” That the significance was a name‚ however‚ surprised me indeed.
