Nathoo Premjee

2026-01-15T15:47:52Z

Mohamedali: /* A Life That Transcends Borders */

[[category:Biography]]

==Birth & Death==
Birth: In the year 1865

Death: In the year 1919

==Brief Profile==
In the long, wind-swept corridors of Khoja history, a few lives feel larger than the page. They do not merely “succeed.” They move—across oceans, across empires, across the limits that others accept as fate.

Nathoo Premjee was one of those lives.

I encountered his name not in an archive, but through a human moment—by pure serendipity—when I met his grandson, '''Riazbhai Premjee''', at the Khoja Heritage Day Live Stream in Karachi on October 26. As he spoke, I could sense it: this was not just family pride. This was the echo of an era when courage sailed in wooden hulls and opportunity smelled like salt air and risk.
Born in '''1865''' in '''Draffa, Gujarat''', Nathoo’s story begins in a small agricultural village—far from the bustle of ports, and far from the comfort of inherited advantage. But history often starts quietly. And then one day, it refuses to stay quiet.

==Early Life: When Loss Became Fuel==
At '''sixteen''', Nathoo lost his father. Overnight, youth ended. Responsibility arrived without knocking.

Yet rather than shrinking under the weight, he did something rare: he moved toward change. Dissatisfied with the limits of village life, he persuaded his mother to leave Draffa and relocate to Porbandar, a port city with wider horizons. It was a decisive act—one that signaled a temperament we see in pioneers: when the world narrows, they widen the map.

In '''Porbandar''', Nathoo caught the attention of '''Nassor Noor Mohammed''', a prominent Khoja businessman from Zanzibar. Nathoo was taken under his wing, and by twenty, he had risen to manage operations in '''Bombay''', that roaring engine of Indian Ocean commerce. Soon after, he was entrusted with opening a branch in '''Nosy Be'''—a sign not only of ability, but of trust.

And then came the moment every builder recognizes: the decision to step out from under a mentor’s shadow and build something that carries your own name.

In '''1895''', Nathoo founded '''Premjee & Fils''' in Madagascar.

Not a shop. Not a side venture. A serious enterprise—designed to endure.

==Trade, Migration, and the Indian Ocean Highway==
Nathoo became a vital figure in Madagascar—not only as a merchant and shipping agent, but as a facilitator of movement. His dhows carried goods, yes. But they also carried people—Gujarati families seeking livelihood, stability, and a new beginning.

He recruited skilled laborers from India and supplied manpower for French colonial projects that shaped Madagascar’s infrastructure. Roads. Railways. Ports. The practical skeleton of modern development. Yet behind the “projects” were human lives—men and families crossing seas with hope in their pockets and uncertainty in their throat.

He was paid in '''silver coins''', currency acceptable to Indian laborers—an old-world detail that tells you everything: this was a world where trade had to speak the language of trust.

And Nathoo didn’t merely “send ships.” He led voyages himself, often commanding dhows through unpredictable waters. The Indian Ocean is beautiful, but it is not sentimental. It rewards preparation, nerve, and patience—and it humbles anyone who confuses confidence with competence.

His trade routes became living arteries between two worlds: '''Indian spices and ghee''' traveling outward; '''sandalwood and ivory''' returning; and with every exchange, culture and memory moving alongside commerce.

This was not just business.

It was history in motion.

==Wealth With Roots: The Philanthropic and Religious Pioneer==
Success did not detach Nathoo from his origins. If anything, it sharpened his sense of obligation.

In '''Majunga, Madagascar''', he helped build a '''mosque''' and an '''Imambara''', working with other prominent community figures to establish religious spaces that anchored Khoja Shia Ithna Ashari life. These were not mere buildings. They were declarations: ''we are here, and we will remain a community—not just a workforce''.

Back in Draffa, he financed the establishment of a ''hospital'' to provide free medical care to the poor. A village boy who left home did not forget home. He returned with something more valuable than money: the instinct to turn success into service.

And in a world that often builds walls around charity—“mine,” “yours,” “ours”—Nathoo’s compassion crossed boundaries. That is why such figures earn respect beyond their own community. People recognize the difference between generosity that performs and generosity that heals.

==Education: Building the Future on Purpose==
In '''1912''', Nathoo returned to India with a vision rooted in education and identity.

He built a large home and an adjacent '''school'''—the first in the area to offer '''bilingual education''' in '''English and Gujarati''', alongside religious studies. That detail matters. It signals a mind that understood the future was not a choice between tradition and modernity. The future was the ability to carry both—without shame.

He wanted children to be at ease in the world without being lost in it.

A rare balance. A difficult one. A necessary one.

==Family Continuity: A Legacy That Refused to Break==
Nathoo passed away in '''1919''', earlier than anyone would have wished. But legacies do not end when a life ends—especially when values have been planted deeply.

His sons, along with dedicated partners like his nephew '''Kassam Banjee''', safeguarded and expanded the family enterprise. Through storms like the '''Great Depression''', they fought to preserve the reputation of Premjee & Fils. Not just to protect a business, but to protect the name—and the standard of integrity attached to it.

That, too, is leadership: building something that does not collapse when you are gone.

==A Life That Transcends Borders==
Nathoo Premjee’s story is not simply a tale of trade and migration.

It is a study in vision.

A portrait of adaptability.

A reminder that courage is often quiet at the beginning—just a teenager, a grieving family, and a decision to leave a village.

For his descendants—and for all of us who care about the living fabric of Khoja heritage—his life stands as proof that one person can open routes for many. Not only across seas, but across social ceilings, economic limitations, and inherited expectations.

And I must say: it is no small thing that '''Riazbhai Premjee''' is now uncovering and carrying these stories forward. History survives when someone decides it matters. His journey has not merely preserved a family narrative; it has illuminated a chapter of our collective memory—one that deserves to be told with pride, clarity, and gratitude.

Nathoo once helped others find new beginnings across oceans.

And now, through his grandson’s devotion to remembrance, that same legacy becomes a guiding light—reminding future generations that courage, purpose, and unwavering resolve are not inherited like property.

They are chosen.

Again and again.

A French anthropologist, Sophie Blanchy, documents his life and work in her book Karana Et Banians: Les Communautés Commerçantes d’Origine Indienne à Madagascar. What emerges from her research is not just a businessman, but a builder of systems. Nathoo Premjee founded Premji & Fils and became deeply involved in Madagascar’s early infrastructure—railways, ports, and the unglamorous but essential mechanics of a functioning economy.

At one point, French shipments of silver coins—used to pay laborers—were delayed. Work was at risk of stopping. Tensions were rising. Nathoo Premjee didn’t wait for bureaucracy to clear its throat. He paid the workers out of his own pocket. No contracts. No press release. Just wages, on time. That single act earned him something far more valuable than profit: trust. Among workers, officials, and the wider community.

He also gave back consistently to the Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaat—supporting schools, hospitals, and mosques. Quiet philanthropy. Long memory. The kind that shows up decades later in family values.

That legacy didn’t end in Madagascar.

His grandson, Riaz Hussain Premjee, carries the same instinct for service—now rooted in Karachi. Riaz has been a pillar of support for Fatimiyah institutions under the Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaat, including:

Fatimiyah Hospital and its Annexe emergency wing

Fatimiyah Boys’ and Girls’ Schools and Colleges

Education initiatives spanning Montessori to higher education

But he didn’t stop at writing checks.

Riaz also helped initiate a forum of Community Well-Wishers—essentially a space where people who care can coordinate instead of working in silos. The focus is practical and unapologetically grounded: healthcare, education, and housing for nearly 30,000 community members across Soldier Bazar, Lines Area, and neighboring parts of Karachi.

Different country. Different century. Same impulse.

When money was delayed, Nathoo Premjee paid wages.
When needs multiplied, Riaz Premjee built institutions.

That’s not coincidence. That’s inheritance—of values, not just names.

 KhojaPedia is an online encyclopedia that details the socio-religious matters of the [http://khojapedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Khojas '''Khoja'''] Shia Ithna Ashari Muslim community. It seeks to document and preserve the history and rich heritage of this community, including the community’s remarkable spiritual migration from one faith to another through maintaining the spirit of unity and organisation.

The principles of this endeavour are :

• Objective and reliable research through credible sources

• To promote an empathy with the faith, sacrifice, journey, dedication, culture, heritage, identity and unity of the community

This project is an important step in imparting the legacy of the community’s ancestors to its present-day youths, as well as promoting awareness of this community to the wider global community. KhojaPedia predominantly focuses on the Khoja Shia Ithna ‘Ashari community, but where relevant, also comments on other strands of the other Khoja communities.

Our vision is that KhojaPedia will become the virtual hub for all members of the Khoja Shia Ithna ‘Ashari community that wish to appreciate the endeavours of their forefathers, whilst acknowledging their current struggles, and aiming to remain united throughout the forthcoming generations.

Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary

Mohamedali: /* Current Standing */

==Preface==
This article, contributed by Abdulrazak Fazal, offers a compelling narrative of the Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary—an enduring symbol of the Khoja community’s charitable legacy in Zanzibar. Originally established in memory of Nasser Noormohamed’s son, the dispensary served as a vital healthcare centre for both Khoja Ithna’ashri and Ismaili communities. Through the author’s personal recollections and historical insight, the article highlights not only the building’s architectural and cultural significance but also the lives it touched across generations.

==Historical and Architectural Significance==
[[File:Khoja_Nasser_Noormohamed_Dispensary.jpg|340 px|right]]

Alighting from the ship and landing on Zanzibar, there emerges the imposing dispensary building and the past comes flooding back. In particular for me, the building evokes a poignant memory of going there every Sunday morning to visit my aunt who was bedridden and resided on its ground floor.

One of Zanzibar's main attractions in Stone Town is this old Khoja dispensary, now transformed into a ‘Cultural Centre’. To us old timers, it will always remain the ‘Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary’. It was a huge complex and a considerable portion (a small part of its ground floor and its two storeys) was allotted to tenants, the rental proceeds from which were used for running the dispensary. The two floors were occupied by Husain Raheem, Jaffer Raheem, Fazal Nasser Mawji and Yusuf Hasam Nasser. Incidentally my aunt, Mrs. Fatmabai Jaffer Ali Dungersi (Fatuma Dada), resided on the ground floor. The ‘Cultural Centre’ photograph is very much in vogue today and reproduced in almost every tourist booklet, brochure or guide.

The building, located in one corner at the far end of a Malindi lane, and on the Forodhani/harbour highway, was built according to the historian Riadh Al Busaidi by Sayyid Abdalla bin Jaad bin Mubarak Al Busaidi. Later, it was bought and extended by Khoja Tharia Topan (a prominent Khoja Ismaili), who died before its completion in 1899. The Trustees of Tharia Topan parted with its ownership in 1901 by selling it to the Trustees of Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Kasmani who earlier had been converted to the Ithnashri Sect but had also passed away before the deal was finalised. The building with its open roof terrace and ornate balconies and facade stood majestically in a row of other architectural masterpieces like the Sultan’s Palace (now People's Palace) and Beit Al Ajaib along Forodhani (the Sea Front). It was believed that the building was specifically built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

Sadly, Nasser Noormohamed’s young son had died of a severe illness, and in his memory, this building was donated as a dispensary to the Khojas. The building thus came to be known as ‘Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary’ and both the Khoja Sects, Ithnashris as well as Ismailis, had access to it. However, Nasser Noormohamed, being an Ithnashri, the dispensary was under the trusteeship of [https://khojapedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kuwwatul_Islam_Mosque_-_Juni_Masjid_Zanzibar_-_The_First_Khoja_Shia_Ithna_Asheri_Mosque_built_in_the_world, '''Kuwwat'''] and Hujjat Jamaats and patronised by the Ithnashries who frequented it for treatment. Those who had served there at one time or another were Doctors Gulamhusain, Awara, Raza Khakoo, Oza and some others. Even Doctors Goradia, Mehta and Patel had worked there before establishing their own clinics.

==Dispensary Administration==
The dispensary’s administration is worthy of mention. Mohamedali Merali Rhemtulla and the bespectacled, pipe smoking Alimohamed Ahmed attentively peered through the thick register to check the patient’s name and then delivered him his card, selected from a pile of cards along with the number tag that had to be strictly adhered to. The doctor very rarely injected. There was no testing of blood or monitoring of blood pressure. The common prescription was ‘puri’ (powder) and white and coloured medicine. The compounders Esmail Jaffer ‘Popo’ (a Khoja Ismaili), Husain (Madawa) and Fida Mammu Molu grinded the tablets into ‘puri’, prepared the mixtures into medicine and labelled the doses on the bottle. The fever vanished in no time. They even handed out a pack of ‘malam’ (ointment) if prescribed. The highly competent Hassani (the male nurse) had his small room at the far end of the dispensary. He applied yellow or red medicine on the cut or boils and then bandaged it up with his unique way of tightening the knot. The bandage had to be changed on a regular basis when he vigorously cleaned the wound.

==Philanthropy & Charitable Legacy==
Nasser Noormohamed was an extremely wealthy person and highly charitable. He was said to own a large number of houses in Zanzibar stone town. In addition to this he had his ‘shambas’ (countryside resorts) and a ‘Pedhi’ (company) where his business dealings were executed. Khoja Hassam Alibhai was said to be one of Nasser Noormohamed’s close confidants. Nasser Noormohamed also had properties in Madagascar and Jamnagar. On my visit to Jamnagar in the 1960s I was taken to the Khoja Boarding House that had its wall adorned with huge portraits of Nasser Noormohamed, Jetha Ghokal, Dawood Haji Nasser and Jaffer Mohamed Sheriff. He had even built the ‘musafirkhana’ in Karbala, Iraq for the Khoja pilgrims. When Nasser Noormohamed died, he had no children and being a member of the Hujjat Jamaat ([https://khojapedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Masjid_Nai_(Zanzibar), '''Nai Misid''']), the ‘Estate of Nasser Noormohamed’(consisting of scores of houses) was left to the Hujjat Jamaat. Nai Misid was famous for its sumptuous feasts and religious meals, in particular during Muharram when ‘nyaz’ was served day and night. Most of that was funded from the ‘Estate of Nasser Noormohamed’.

==Current Standing==
After the 1964 Zanzibar Revolution, the Government, by a Presidential Decree, vested the trusteeship of all the Waqf property with the Waqf Commission. The dispensary as such ceased to operate. Later on, the Government declared it as a historical monument worthy of preservation. It is intriguing that the Aga Khan Cultural Centre succeeded in securing this building on a lease basis from the Zanzibar Government and converting it into a full-fledged ‘Cultural Centre’ while the Ithnashris despite their trusteeship in the past, failed in their effort to rehabilitate it as a public dispensary. Now the 'Cultural Centre' has been transformed into Aga Khan Hospital.

In addition to this he had his ‘shambas’ (countryside resorts) and a ‘Pedhi’ (company) where his business dealings were executed. Khoja Hassam Alibhai was said to be one of Nasser Noormohamed’s close confidants. Nasser Noormohamed also had properties in Madagascar and Jamnagar. On my visit to Jamnagar in the 1960s I was taken to the Khoja Boarding House that had its wall adorned with huge portraits of Nasser Noormohamed, Jetha Ghokal, Dawood Haji Nasser and Jaffer Mohamed Sheriff. He had even built the ‘musafirkhana’ in Karbala, Iraq for the Khoja pilgrims. When Nasser Noormohamed died, he had no children and being a member of the Hujjat Jamaat ([https://khojapedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Masjid_Nai_(Zanzibar), , '''Nai Misid''']), the ‘Estate of Nasser Noormohamed’(consisting of scores of houses) was left to the Hujjat Jamaat. Nai Misid was famous for its sumptuous feasts and religious meals, in particular during Muharram when ‘nyaz’ was served day and night. Most of that was funded from the ‘Estate of Nasser Noormohamed’.

After the 1964 Zanzibar Revolution, the Government, by a Presidential Decree, vested the trusteeship of all the Waqf property with the Waqf Commission. The dispensary as such ceased to operate. Later on, the Government declared it as a historical monument worthy of preservation. It is intriguing that the Aga Khan Cultural Centre succeeded in securing this building on a lease basis from the Zanzibar Government and converting it into a full-fledged ‘Cultural Centre’ while the Ithnashris despite their trusteeship in the past, failed in their effort to rehabilitate it as a public dispensary. Now the 'Cultural Centre' has been transformed into Aga Khan Hospital.

==Preface==
This article, contributed by Abdulrazak Fazal, offers a compelling narrative of the Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary—an enduring symbol of the Khoja community’s charitable legacy in Zanzibar. Originally established in memory of Nasser Noormohamed’s son, the dispensary served as a vital healthcare centre for both Khoja Ithna’ashri and Ismaili communities. Through the author’s personal recollections and historical insight, the article highlights not only the building’s architectural and cultural significance but also the lives it touched across generations.

==Historical and Architectural Significance==
Alighting from the ship and landing on Zanzibar, there emerges the imposing dispensary building and the past comes flooding back. In particular for me, the building evokes a poignant memory of going there every Sunday morning to visit my aunt who was bedridden and resided on its ground floor.

One of Zanzibar's main attractions in Stone Town is this old Khoja dispensary, now transformed into a ‘Cultural Centre’. To us old timers, it will always remain the ‘Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary’. It was a huge complex and a considerable portion (a small part of its ground floor and its two storeys) was allotted to tenants, the rental proceeds from which were used for running the dispensary. The two floors were occupied by Husain Raheem, Jaffer Raheem, Fazal Nasser Mawji and Yusuf Hasam Nasser. Incidentally my aunt, Mrs. Fatmabai Jaffer Ali Dungersi (Fatuma Dada), resided on the ground floor. The ‘Cultural Centre’ photograph is very much in vogue today and reproduced in almost every tourist booklet, brochure or guide.

The building, located in one corner at the far end of a Malindi lane, and on the Forodhani/harbour highway, was built according to the historian Riadh Al Busaidi by Sayyid Abdalla bin Jaad bin Mubarak Al Busaidi. Later, it was bought and extended by Khoja Tharia Topan (a prominent Khoja Ismaili), who died before its completion in 1899. The Trustees of Tharia Topan parted with its ownership in 1901 by selling it to the Trustees of Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Kasmani who earlier had been converted to the Ithnashri Sect but had also passed away before the deal was finalised. The building with its open roof terrace and ornate balconies and facade stood majestically in a row of other architectural masterpieces like the Sultan’s Palace (now People's Palace) and Beit Al Ajaib along Forodhani (the Sea Front). It was believed that the building was specifically built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

Sadly, Nasser Noormohamed’s young son had died of a severe illness, and in his memory, this building was donated as a dispensary to the Khojas. The building thus came to be known as ‘Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary’ and both the Khoja Sects, Ithnashris as well as Ismailis, had access to it. However, Nasser Noormohamed, being an Ithnashri, the dispensary was under the trusteeship of Kuwwat and Hujjat Jamaats and patronised by the Ithnashries who frequented it for treatment. Those who had served there at one time or another were Doctors Gulamhusain, Awara, Raza Khakoo, Oza and some others. Even Doctors Goradia, Mehta and Patel had worked there before establishing their own clinics.

==Dispensary Administration==
The dispensary’s administration is worthy of mention. Mohamedali Merali Rhemtulla and the bespectacled, pipe smoking Alimohamed Ahmed attentively peered through the thick register to check the patient’s name and then delivered him his card, selected from a pile of cards along with the number tag that had to be strictly adhered to. The doctor very rarely injected. There was no testing of blood or monitoring of blood pressure. The common prescription was ‘puri’ (powder) and white and coloured medicine. The compounders Esmail Jaffer ‘Popo’ (a Khoja Ismaili), Husain (Madawa) and Fida Mammu Molu grinded the tablets into ‘puri’, prepared the mixtures into medicine and labelled the doses on the bottle. The fever vanished in no time. They even handed out a pack of ‘malam’ (ointment) if prescribed. The highly competent Hassani (the male nurse) had his small room at the far end of the dispensary. He applied yellow or red medicine on the cut or boils and then bandaged it up with his unique way of tightening the knot. The bandage had to be changed on a regular basis when he vigorously cleaned the wound.

 KhojaPedia is an online encyclopedia that details the socio-religious matters of the [http://khojapedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Khojas '''Khoja'''] Shia Ithna Ashari Muslim community. It seeks to document and preserve the history and rich heritage of this community, including the community’s remarkable spiritual migration from one faith to another through maintaining the spirit of unity and organisation.

The principles of this endeavour are :

• Objective and reliable research through credible sources

• To promote an empathy with the faith, sacrifice, journey, dedication, culture, heritage, identity and unity of the community

This project is an important step in imparting the legacy of the community’s ancestors to its present-day youths, as well as promoting awareness of this community to the wider global community. KhojaPedia predominantly focuses on the Khoja Shia Ithna ‘Ashari community, but where relevant, also comments on other strands of the other Khoja communities.

Our vision is that KhojaPedia will become the virtual hub for all members of the Khoja Shia Ithna ‘Ashari community that wish to appreciate the endeavours of their forefathers, whilst acknowledging their current struggles, and aiming to remain united throughout the forthcoming generations.
