Pakistani Hindus with filmmaker Rahul Riji Nair
Systematic violence, rampant discrimination, and widespread restrictions on religious freedom have led thousands of Pakistani Hindus to seek refuge in India in recent years. The Indian government, however, has failed to recognize the majority of them as refugees or grant them asylum. The Human Boundaries details the routine persecution and discrimination faced these refugees faced in Pakistan, and their emotional appeals to remain in India.
'We won't go back. Even if you shoot us we won't go back,' cried out an elderly Pakistani Hindu woman living in the Dera Dhuni Baba refugee camp in the Indian capital of New Delhi. Her tragic story, along with those of 150 other Hindus from Pakistan's Sindh province, was recently captured by Indian filmmaker, Rahul Riji Nair, in his new critically acclaimed documentary, The Human Boundaries.
