Details: A travelogue and an ethnographic study that builds upon hundreds of oral testimonies, A White Trail tells the stories of the complex lived-realities of religious minorities in Pakistan-stories of their triumphs, insecurities, aspirations, marginalization and resilience. The book tells the tale of a group of young Hindu boys who came together to revive their festivals after decades of hidden celebrations. It narrates the story of the Sikh community in Nankana and how it began carving out an identity in a Muslim-dominated city. And it explores how the Christian community expresses its religious identity in a local, South-Asian flavour.
A White Trail is a journey through the different festivals of the five religious minorities of Pakistan, narrating the lives of the different communities in their own words. It reveals what it means to celebrate religious festivals under the shadow of rising intolerance, structural persecution and increased cases of religious violence.
