I am coming from a refugee family that has suffered immensely during the partition of India in 1947. Massacres, rapes and abductions followed in the wake of partition, leading to the migration of 15 million people. I could never accept borders that prevented me from going back to my homeland, my roots. I wanted to give voice to the silent sufferings of the refugees. I wanted to talk about the ongoing conflicts that still bleed their hearts. My previous films "Way Back Home"(2003) search for the lost land, "Hope Dies Last in War"(2007), deals with continuing conflict. Now "Wagah"( Berlin Today Award winner 2009) tries to blur the border through cinema – the wildest dream I always cherished!
