Footprints: Memoirs of an Indian Patriarch is the autobiography of Maghanmal J. Pancholia, a successful entrepreneur and a stalwart of the Indian community in Dubai, his home since 1942. The author travels back in time to walk through the alleys of his beloved Thatta, Sindh, in undivided India. Punctuating the narrative with anecdotes in his characteristically unassuming style, he traces the metamorphosis of Dubai from a quiet coastal town to a bustling city.
