1 hr. 38 min is just after the Christians-only charity dinner and at the beginning of Khan's travel through Georgia's non-existent desert, ultimately ending at the singin', dancin' black shanty town of Wilhelmina where he meets Mammy Jenny and Nappy-Haired Joel. It ends with the "popular Hindi version" of We Shall Overcome at 1 hr. 50 min.

2 hrs. 14 min. is after Khan gets tortured in some really weird blazingly brightly lit white prison (OOOOH IT'S WHITE, I GET IT, I GET IT). Khan overhears that a heavy rainstorm, referred to as a "hurricane," is killing the hundreds of blacks in Wilhemina. After the Muslim rescue brigade walks through the waist-high water to the church, you can skip up to the bonfire where Evil Terrorist Muslim stabs Khan (unfortunately, he survives). Watch to the end of film, where Unnamed Black President greets Khan with a phrase that I've never heard an American use and have only heard Indians ever utter, and makes everyone happy.
