5 November, 1938- Novelist, journalist and filmmaker Khwaja Ahmad Abbas decides to return to India via land on a train from Paris. As the train enters Germany, a Nazi German Officer greets him with 'Hail Hitler'. Abbas shouts back 'Mahatma Gandhi Ki Jai'. The Nazi officer is confused.
Abbas visits Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Bucharest. To his horror, he realises Hitler's ideology of fascism has reached all corners of Europe. He's shocked to see how ordinary jews are being persecuted in Vienna.
Presented by broadcaster Pervaiz Alam, the Cineink series 'Musafir Ki Diary' is based on a travelogue written by KA Abbas. It's produced by Achala Sharma in association with the Delhi-based Khwaja Ahmad Abbas Memorial Trust.
