The Nowhere People
In 2006, "The Nowhere People" campaign began in the form of a pamphlet. The small book was distributed to hundreds of refugees and policy makers.
It stated the missions of Pak Visthapit Sangh/Seemant Lok Sangathan, and released newly researched data and insight about the issue of Hindu-Pakistani refugees.
In 2010, the pamphlet was revised and updated.
