We should not see such reports as authentic because it is the double standards or no knowledge of Indian traditions they find some of the styles in slavery. And with such a big population something or the other is bound to go wrong. If you ask me US is no better than our country in some of the ways they have for themselves.

Slavery in any form is condemnable, but it is not the same as US as US it is a very cruel form and in India, it is there and whenever it is seen it needs to be stroked down with iron hands.

The report is about slavery in the entire world including India. No country is totally free from modern slavery. Bonded labor is one form of slavery. Forced marriage is also one.

The issue of forced marriages is becoming serious than ever before since male top female ratio has become critically imbalanced. Just last week I read a report of poor young girls and even married women being kidnapped from several parts around Nagpur and they were then sold to families in Rajasthan and Haryana into forced marriages. In some cases, more than 2 brothers shared the same bride. If this is not a form of slavery , then what is?

Yes, there are incidents of forced marriages but it is not gender specific. You must have heard about forced marriages of boys in Bihar where good boys are kidnapped and married to daughters of influential ones. And this is not the case in lower class but upper class also. They are terrified to the limit that they dare not complain or take any action even after set free after marriages. Go to Japan and China, see the position of women. The women are demanding big dowry because of their low population. It is going to be the same in India soon when it will bride's side that will ask for dowry.

This is correct. We need to oppose slavery in all its manifestation irrespective of gender and caste. This is an international issue.

Do you know that the practice of bride demanding dowry existed in South India in 18th century especially in AP and in my own native place ? They called it as "Kanya Sulkam ".Even today a tribal group in AP has to pay Goats and buffaloes as a dowry to the bride's father.

Yes in some of the Naga and Mizo tribes it is common to stay in camps for few months before marriges and if girl approves, the future groom comes to stay with girl with gifts where girl is the boss.
