A Saviour across borders: Nikhil Chandwani's quiet crusade for Pakistan's Hindu minorities

In a world inundated with noise, it is often the quietest voices that carry the most weight.

Nikhil Chandwani, a Nagpur-based author and entrepreneur, is one such voice. For nearly a decade, Nikhil, has led a silent but life-saving operation that has rescued over 2,000 Hindu and Sikh families from religious persecution in Pakistan. What began in 2017 as a desperate message from a shopkeeper in Sindh fearing for his daughter's life, quickly became a lifelong mission. The teenager was under threat of forced conversion and abduction. With no institutional backing, Chandwani mobilized his resources, arranged safe shelter, and helped secure travel and documentation. That girl now lives safely in India, and her rescue sparked what Chandwani describes as "this can't stop with just one family. There are thousands more." Since then, he has built a decentralized rescue operation powered largely by profits from his biomass pellet manufacturing business and supported by a small network of individual donors who believe in the cause but do not seek the spotlight.
