Author Mohezin Tejani, an Ismaili Muslim of Indian origin, is among the 60,000 Asians who were evicted from Uganda under Idi Amin’s rule. Thereafter begins his 30-year quest across five continents — working with NGOs, learning new languages, meeting fellow travellers and being part of important historical events — in a bid to discard his cultural baggage.
