Sixty years ago, about 3000 Chinese-Indians were taken to an internment camp in a town called Deoli in Rajasthan, India. While some may have heard about the border war between China and India in 1962 preceding the internment, few know about what happened to civilians of Chinese ancestry who had lived for generations in India. Some of them were incarcerated for under a year, the longest internees were in the camp for up to four and half years.

The Indian government has not apologized for incarcerating innocent civilians.

“Voices of Deoli” tells the survivors’ stories, their life now in the States and Canada, their journey as immigrants, their haunted memories from the camp and their efforts at receiving justice throughout the years.
