Writer, activist & Peer Recovery Coach, Ahmar Mustikhan was called Pervez Dispenser after he forced Gen. Pervez Musharraf to declare before thousands of people, “Yes, I was a dictator” in Baltimore, Maryland.
Mustikhan, born in Rangoon, Burma October 21, 1959 arrived at the JFK Airport on October 20, 2000 on the eve of his 41st birthday and told himself how true it is that “life begins at 40.”
He traces his ancestral roots to Bahu Dashtiyari from the port district of Chahbahar in Iran in the Iranian province of Seistan o Balochistan but his globetrotting grandfather migrated to Karachi, which has the largest concentration of ethnic Baloch circa 1870. After working as day laborers in Karachi, they went to Perth, Australia as cameleers in 1885. They returned to Karachi three years later and then went to work as petty coal miners in Assam, India.
Once their gig was over they were returning to Karachi when an acquaintance suggested they go to Rangoon, Burma which has lots of opportunities. They arrived in Rangoon in 1902 and within a decade, became the second largest quarry stone operation in the British and supplying stones to the British to build the bludgeoning railway in India.
