by Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, Dawn, Pakistan – A former bonded labourer and a doctor. A Hindu woman and a Muslim man with the same vision and determination; when they get together, you feel that anything is possible in Pakistan.
I first met them last year while filming a television series in Karachi. The doctor was soft spoken and careful with his words, the labourer was loud and forceful. They both live and work in interior Sindh. They have both been threatened with force, one of them has been beaten numerous times and the other has never given in to pressure or bribes.
Together, they want to change the lives of thousands of peasants that live and work the land in Sindh.
