In memoriam Ruby Khan (1968–2026)

13 April 2026 - 22:24

Ruby Khan worked at the IISH for 25 years in various departments. She started in the secretariat and, in addition to reception duties, also worked in the collections processing department, where her knowledge of Urdu was invaluable.

We came to know her as a helpful, incredibly warm-hearted, cheerful colleague who always had an ear for everyone’s story.

Due to increasing health problems, she had to leave the Institute in 2024. She worked hard on her rehabilitation and approached it with a positive attitude, but her health nevertheless continued to deteriorate.

She passed away in early March this year.
