This book traces his journey till he left the borders of Iran, a distance he completed in about 60 days. For Khan the journey was about travelling along a historical route steeped in cultures, languages, religions and races, woven together as a an indivisible whole, elements of which had gone into making him the cosmopolitan, yet rooted, South Asian individual. While India represented somewhat familiar terrain, travelling through contemporary Pakistan and Iran was a particular eye-opener for the author. Much of the current realities of the region are reflected in the book, along with Khan's own commentary about what he observed and encountered. Equally a pleasure to read for the armchair traveller or the seasoned one, the book is a stunning snapshot of life along a well-worn route known for its spiritual depth and philosophical richness"--Provided by publisher. 607 $aIndia$xDescription and travel 607 $aPakistan$xDescription and travel 607 $aIran$xDescription and travel 607 $aIndia$xSocial life and customs 607 $aPakistan$xSocial life and customs 607 $aIran$xSocial life and customs 676 $a954 700 $aKhan$b Zeeshan$f1977-$01577979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795323003321 996 $aRight to passage$93856993 997 $aUNINA
