Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed

Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed (May 13, 1905 - February 11, 1977) was President of India from 1974 to 1977.

Ahmed was born on May 13, 1905, in Delhi, India in a minor branch of the royal family of Loharu. He was educated at St. Stephen's College and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and subsequently became an active member of the Congress Party. Picked for the presidency by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1974, he became the second Muslim to be elected President. He would later use his constitutional authority as head of state to allow him to rule by decree once emergency rule was proclaimed in 1975. He died in office.

He was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Prishtina, Kosovo in 1975, during his visit to Yugoslavia.
