On the surface, A Voyage From Kashmir chronicles the life of author Aamnah Rahman’s father, Abdul Rehman Khan. From entering the British Indian Army at just 16 years old, to witnessing the partition of the Indian subcontinent, Rahman’s esteemed experiences span eight decades and are full of first-hand glimpses at many key moments in both South Asian and British culture.
However, the story of Rahman’s father is also intertwined with personal accounts of the many struggles experienced by Kashmiri/Pakistani immigrants during their transition from their homeland to the West.
During this live in-conversation event, Rahman discusses this touching, pertinent and deeply personal story with writer Irna Qureshi.
