Coming Back: the Odyssey of a Pakistani through India

From the Taj Mahal to the ghats of Benares, the book reflects on emotional reunions, forgotten communities and the deep cultural connections that transcend borders. Thoughtful, insightful, and warmly human, it offers a fresh perspective on identity, memory, and neighbourly relations.
