CHILD MORTGAGE BEFORE BIRTH

Sadly this does not only happen in India... It happens where the divide between the rich and the poor is too large... It happens when greed takes over and huge corporations want to decrease costs and increase profits... Slave trade still exists but under different guises

There are different facets of any country, good and bad. Cities have their own good points, but villages, interiors, or other parts may have their own.

It is still happening in many parts of the country and may be in many other parts too!!

Want to add... Take eg of chocolates... The cocoa plantations... Who do you think works on them... Children... Did you know 70% of the cocoa in the world is owned by one person... For the life of me , I cannot recollect his name... Lazy to google.

Slave trade still exists but under different guises- I agree

CHILD MORTGAGE BEFORE BIRTH

Slavery / bonded labour - which is what this story is based on - happens outside India too...

Many times the problem is in the non-implementation of laws, or implementing them, interpreting them, using them in a wrong way. The powerful take advantage of the lacunae in the law. The fear of facing harassment, be it of any kind, in courts, or anywhere becomes a big factor in continuation of such things. But the saying 'might is always right' applies everywhere. the day when the seemingly powerless unite against wrongdoers, become one against them, the day when people as a unit stop being mute spectators to any wrong done, the day when society's mindset as a whole changes, that day maybe we may not even need such laws! Or maybe their implementation becomes strict and clear. Besides there is also hardly any awareness regarding laws among needy people.
