" Sharif Miyan: " I wish I did, though. Own some land, that is. My family owned it once when I was a young man. It's all gone now."

My family owned many farms in Punjab---the one in Pakistan." Avi: " But land does not go anywhere, does it?" Sharif Miyan: " You are right. Land does not. It's not the people who go away. I know where my land is in Punjab. I can see it. I can walk on it. But it is not mine. Isn't that terrible? I can never forget the day when those landgrabbers held my family at gunpoint and told me to leave. I didn't think I would have to leave the country. "
