Indian writer Reena Abraham, who has lived and travelled across the Gulf (here’s that “Across the Gulf” title again), has questioned and even actively explored the Indian presence in Bahrain. She then unravelled to us how the Indian community contributed to the history of Bahrain in her coffee-table book “Footprints in Time”. Ms. Abraham is a reputable writer, and has generously brought forth to us her perspective, gained through many years in our Arab Countries. She will now share this perspective to us Elhamers, and we are delighted to hear her own words, in her own voice.
