Issues of hindus facing persecution in several parts of world
has been a matter of concern in India for long now. One such
concerned citizen, Rahul Nair thought that he should do something
on this issue. It was that time that idea of making a film on
plight of pakistani hindus came into his mind.

Rahul started working on this immediately and came delhi for
shooting. It was an uphill task given the deliberate attempts by
authorities in giving various permissions. His unending efforts
along with a great team of his friends came out as a full-fledged
film namely 'THE HUMAN BOUNDARIES' in February 2012.
“The Human Boundaries” (2012) is an award winning critically
acclaimed English documentary of 35 minute duration on the life of
the Hindu refugees from Pakistan. A group of 151 Pakistani Hindus
entered India on September, 2011 with a one month tourist visa
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 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.
The Expose
CNN-IBN was caught on the wrong foot for using visuals from the
documentary "The Human Boundaries" without prior consent and for
without giving due credits, as a part of their program "Nobody's
Countrymen". The following screenshots, exposed this case of breach
of IP rights:
