17 - 23 August, 1938, USA. Khwaja Ahmad Abbas is so much horrified at the treatment meted out to 'Negros' (Blacks) on an American train that he decides to not eat at all in a dining car where blacks were not allowed. Though as an Indian he could have been allowed but he decided to call himself a 'Negro'. He also writes about his visits to the Harvard University, New York Time Times and other newspaper offices. He concludes Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University are better than Harvard!

Presented by broadcaster Pervaiz Alam, the Cineink series 'Musafir Ki Diary' is produced by Achala Sharma in association with the Delhi-based Khwaja Ahmad Abbas Memorial Trust.
