Description of Kashmir and Indian Culture in the Travelogue of Muhammad bin Nasir al-ʿabūdi: A Comparative Analysis
الملخص
This research investigates the fascinating realm of Muhammad Bin Nasir al-ʿAbūdī's travelogue, chronicling his journeys through the Indian subcontinent and Kashmir. Through his evocative descriptions, al-ʿAbūdī becomes an intermediary, guiding the reader through the labyrinthine alleys of unfamiliar customs, traditions, and cultural nuances. The present study undertakes a comparative analysis of these Indian and Kashmiri elements, meticulously dissecting al-ʿAbūdī's chosen narrative techniques. It sheds light on his descriptive methodology, scrutinizing how he navigates the intricacies of cultural representation and nurtures intercultural understanding. Travel literature occupies a unique space as a confluence of geographical, historical, and social insights. Beyond mere documentation, it thrives on the writer's ability to transform lived experiences, vivid observations, and meticulous research into engaging narratives that captivate the reader's imagination. This captivating quality stems from the travelogue's inherent duality: it unveils the allure of the unknown while offering a platform for introspection and cultural comparison. As a subgenre of comparative literature, travel writing fosters intercultural understanding and dialogue, making it a cornerstone of literary exchange. The exploration of al-ʿAbūdī's travelogue promises to be a rewarding journey, offering valuable insights into the power of travel writing to transcend geographical boundaries and foster intercultural dialogue.
