On August 25, 2007, a bomb blast at Gokul Chat in killed over 40 people in Hyderabad. Papalal, a Hindu temple painter, rescued a 4-year-old distraught Muslim girl. Since then, he and his wife have taken care of her as their own daughter.

However, this noble family's world soon turned upside down. Muslim groups have been pressurizing them that the child be handed over to a Muslim orphanage so that she can be raised as a practicing Muslim, while the local Hindu groups are strongly opposing the idea of a Hindu family raising a Muslim girl.

The story of Papalal's family is a disturbing account of the freedom with which religious chauvinism and bigotry operate in a country that has secularism for an ideal. It shows how humanism and tolerance ? the very qualities required to overcome communal discord and strife - rather than being nurtured, are in danger of being subverted. But through all these accounts of hardship, ultimately, this is an inspiring tale of humanity, harmony and hope.

The documentary runs for 52 minutes, and has been edited and directed by Shravan Katikaneni. The cinematography is by Gnana Shekar V S.
