The Epilogue examines the changing international connections of Lahore following the emergence of Pakistan. Partition ended long standing commercial and cultural ties with Bombay and Delhi. These have been replaced in part by new links with Dubai and Karachi. Contemporary globalization has transformed communications and the ties between Diasporas (overseas populations) and native Lahoris. The city has continued to experience large scale migration. Its cultural and sporting life in recent years has been adversely affected by terrorism. The development of the Allama Iqbal Airport has transformed pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. Belated attempts to conserve the inner city have fallen back on Orientalist portrayals of the inwardness of its gated areas.
