The road to Kapurashi was was long and torturous on the tailbone. After driving for 10 hours from Ahmedabad by car, we turned off the main highway on to a dried out riverbed. Heenaban, SEWA coordinator and my lifeline in India, confirms this route would not be possible during the rainy season. By the end, we were within 25 miles of the Pakistani border. Kapurashi and other villages in the area were founded in 1971 as families migrated from Pakistan to India to avoid communal violence.
