Refugees - THE TIME TRAVELLERS History remembers them as refugees, but their journey reveals something far more profound. When more than a million Sindhis were torn from their homeland Sindh, they carried with them not just memories, but time itself-past, present, and future held together with remarkable determination. Refugees - THE TIME TRAVELERS is Susheel Gajwani's tribute to this extraordinary ability of a displaced people to move through time with grace. Though uprooted, they refused to let time scatter them. Instead, they gathered their past-their culture, language, rituals, humour, enterprise-and carried it forward with care. In the harsh conditions of the Valivade refugee camp in Kolhapur, they learned to shape the present with resilience and discipline, refusing to surrender to despair. And from that fragile present, they dreamed boldly of a future where their identity would not only survive, but shine anew. The Sindhis became "Time Travellers" because they lived across time simultaneously:Guardians of the past, preserving heritage against all odds. Builders of the present, turning a refugee camp into a community of aspirations. Architects of the future, ensuring that generations to come would stand on the foundation of their courage. This journey-stretching from the heartbreak of exile to the triumph of renaissance-forms the soul of Susheel Gajwani's narrative. Their story shows that time does not simply happen to us; with resolve, we can shape it. These refugees did not merely endure history-they carried it forward, reimagined it, and transformed it. Refugees - THE TIME TRAVELLERS is ultimately a testament to the power of human spirit: how a community, once displaced, travelled through time not as victims of circumstance, but as creators of a new destiny. Their past gave them identity, their present demanded strength, and their future was forged by an unbreakable hope.
