Summary
Per J. Andersson: Cycling from India to Sweden: An Incredible Love Story
Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia, better known as P. K., was born into a poor family of the untouchable caste in a small village on the edge of the jungle in eastern India. All his life he keeps a palm leaf with an astrologer's prophecy: "He will marry a girl from faraway places; his future wife will be musical, will have her own jungle and will be born under the sign of the bull." Bicycle from India to Sweden is an incredible and true story about how a young Indian, armed with his talent for portraiture, a handful of brushes and a used Raleigh brand bicycle, from Delhi, through Asia and the snowy peaks of Afghanistan, the Shah's Iran and Europe, set out on a journey to Sweden to meet his beloved woman, found her and stayed there.
