Argh, aye, but women sex slaves is just part of the deal, no? Works a charm in India etc...
What are the full details?
Now then - the aberration of a few individuals proves the general rule, no? That slavery is not asseptable in Auschtralia, OK?
Just so. Now, if you'd like to point to the clause on grandmother slavery in the Indian constitution, please do.
Kultcha, innit. Not
race.
Modern slavery continues to be a significant problem, even in 2017. There are 46 million people around the world today who live in slavery, a
nd 18 million (39%) of them are in India. Although these numbers are shocking, the fact that there is such high prevalence of slavery in India isn’t.
https://ohrh.law.ox.ac.uk/slavery-casteism-in-india-no-road-to-freedom/ Good Googling, dear boy, and a compelling discussion. Good truth-telling.
Quote:The Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act 1976 helps the victims of bonded labour by providing them with a little bit of capital once they’re out of slavery. The recent 2016 Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act is a great attempt on the part of the government to better the status of Dalits in India, by instituting special courts for SC/ST victims and making more subtle discriminatory practices offences.
There still remains a lot to be done for the Dalits, but we must also acknowledge the fact that distributing the spoils of state power strictly according to caste only perpetuates the caste system. It looks like a hopeless predicament that India has arrived at. The nation strives harder to get rid of casteism by making use of it, engraving identities in places varying from the Indian Constitution to education institutions. Indians are still living what Dr. B.R. Ambedkar described as the ‘life of contradictions’ and the caste system has, as the Mandal Commission noted, only conditioned the consciousness of the lower castes in accepting their inferior status in the ritual hierarchy.
We have law, we have culture, we have class, castes, families, tradition and economic imperatives. We have state and social contradictions. A fascinating analysis.
So I'm curious. When did you become a Marxist?
Oppressing and monstering each other is the culture and tradition. The law and higher, humane standards are imports from the despised white British.
That's why even skilled Indian IT professionals in Australia are convicted of keeping another Indian as a house slave to look after their thee retarded children. Imagine the Indians who do not pass muster!
“No one has expressed any sense of regret or sorrow – it’s a fairly remarkable absence of humanity,” Justice John Champion told the Victoria supreme court on Wednesday.
The couple persistently failed to come to grips with the reality of their situation including not arranging care for their three special needs children, the court heard.
“Your primary focus seems to have been on yourselves,” the judge said. “You both grossly exploited a vulnerable person for which you should be ashamed ... I am quite convinced that you both believe you did nothing wrong.”
The victim came to Australia twice to live with the Kannans in 2002 and 2004 before returning again on a one-month tourist visa in 2007.
The woman left school before the end of her first year of formal education at age six. She worked in fields from the age of 12, took on menial work on building sites and later moved into cooking.
She married and had four children but was widowed young and left to raise her family alone. Her life in India was dominated by financial struggle and deprived circumstances, the judge said.
Despite desperate pleas to be allowed to return to her family, the woman was forced from 2007 to work up to 23 hours a day caring for the couple’s children, cooking, cleaning and doing chores.
She had tea and curries thrown at her, was beaten with a frozen chicken and when her son-in-law asked the Kannans to let her return they responded “bugger you”. In exchange she was paid about $3.36 per day.
The woman, now in her 60s, was rushed to hospital by ambulance in July 2015 after collapsing. She was malnourished and suffering untreated medical conditions including sepsis and diabetes.
Kumuthini Kannan lied about the woman’s identity to paramedics and hospital staff, so she was admitted under the wrong name.
Parallel to this, Victoria police had been asked to check on the woman’s welfare on behalf of her worried family in India.
They visited the Kannans who lied and got away with it until September 2015 when the family’s lawyer contacted police saying they wished to apologise. It still took days for authorities to untangle the lies.
