"The Human Boundaries" is a 35 minute documentary
on the life of the Hindu refugees from Pakistan
in India
by 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. Sadly, the Government of India instead of helping is creating
problems to the asylum seekers.
A group of 151 Pakistani Hindus entered India on
September, 2011 with a one month tourist visa. They came to take refuge from
the various religious persecutions they had to face in Pakistan . The
group which has a majority of children and women are now sheltered in a camp on
the outskirts of New Delhi .
But now their visa has expired and is facing deportation.
Various organizations are fighting for the basic human
rights of these people at the political and judicial level. Their story is a
grim reminder of all those lives caught up in no man's land. As more boundaries
are drawn across the human conscience, we failed to realize that humanity has
always suffered.
The film was shot in a highly restricted and sensitive
environment inside the refugee camp in a short span of 3 days with the use of
minimal filming equipments. This documentary traces the difficulties they had
to face in Pakistan ,
their life inside the camp and their hopes for tomorrow.
