A Return To Self
In 2019, Aatish Taseer faced a profound loss when the Government of India revoked his citizenship, leading to an exile from the country he called home for thirty years. This heart-wrenching experience sparked a journey of self-exploration as he revisited the spaces that shaped his identity.
As he travels through Istanbul, Taseer confronts the hopes and ambitions of his former self. His journey extends into Uzbekistan, where he observes the transition of the Silk Road from a magnificent gateway to a mere tourist attraction. In India, he grapples with the curious reality of Buddhism's origins yet its limited practice in the area. Time and again, he witnesses the intricate dance between the ancient world and today’s contemporary issues, influenced deeply by the pandemic, the rise of new culinary identities, and ongoing cultural conflicts across the globe.
Aatish Taseer raises essential questions about the evolution of cultures and the often tumultuous intersections that define identities. His blend of travelogue and memoir invites readers to consider what it means to belong to a place increasingly characterized by exclusion and prejudice. This compelling narrative delves into the heart of migrations that shape our diverse and multicultural world.
Join Taseer on this thought-provoking journey of reflection, heritage, and belonging as he navigates the complexities of identity in a rapidly changing world.
