Indus Journey: A Personal View of Pakistan

Last updated

Indus Journey: A Personal View of Pakistan is a book by Imran Khan that was first published in 1990.

The book documents his travel along the Indus River. [1] The work presents Khan in the roles of a travel writer, tour guide, and amateur historian. [1] The book provides a comprehensive overview of the river's path from its delta on the Arabian Sea to its source in the Himalayas. [1] Accompanied by photographs by Mike Goldwater, the book explores geography, culture, and history. [1]

Khan's motivation for writing the book stemmed from feedback indicating a lack of accessible literature on Pakistan for international audiences. [1] He addresses topics such as conservation, ecological challenges, and socio-economic issues within the country. [1] However, some reviewers have noted that the book predominantly focuses on historical aspects, with limited coverage of contemporary Pakistan's diversity and dynamics. [1]

The book has been reviewed by India Today , [1] Far Eastern Economic Review , [2] The Times of India , [3] and South China Morning Post . [4]
