The setting highlights the prejudice he faces due to his dark skin, while his quiet decency and hard work leave a lasting impression. The action shifts to Karachi, a vast urban center where wealth, power, and danger shape the characters’ fates. Later, he retreats to a mountain village to teach and find peace away from the city’s chaos.

🪞 Identity
