As a child, all Aatish Taseer ever had of his father was his
photograph in a browning silver frame. Raised by his Sikh mother in
Delhi, his father, a Pakistani Muslim, remained a distant figure.
It was a fractured upbringing which left Aatish with many questions
about his own identity. Stranger to History is the story of the
journey Aatish made to try to understand what it means to be Muslim
in the twenty-first century. Starting from Istanbul, Islam's once
greatest city, he travels to Mecca, its most holy, and then home
through Iran and Pakistan. Ending in Lahore, at his estranged
father's home, on the night Benazir Bhutto was killed, it is also
the story of Aatish's own divided family over the past fifty years.
