In earlier times, people were openly trafficked. In a way, they were auctioned and rich people bought them and made them do whatever they wanted to do. Whenever people were auctioned at any time, it depended on whether they were boys or girls. If it were a girl, she was kept for Raas leela (enjoyment) and boys were kept for labour work. But now this practice has reduced, but it is very wrong to say that it has completely stopped. Human trafficking is still very active. And there are many people who are working on all these things. See, often people who do not have any family members, or there is no one to investigate or look for them. The disappearance of such people does not affect anyone much. But some organisations are investigating all these things in a very deep manner at the national and international level, and sometimes very good scams also take place.
Look, today slavery is not done openly, but it would be wrong to say that it has completely stopped. Even now, in many places, people are made to do a lot of work for very low salaries. This still comes under the same category. Many times it happens in big companies that people are made to do a lot of work for a very low salary. In a way, they are harassed. Look, whoever your boss is, take advantage of your helplessness. They know that you need money, and you can do anything for it. They take advantage of this and turn your helplessness into their advantage.
It is wrong to say that everyone is the same. Many owners of companies or small organisations are very good, and they take great care of their employees, but many people do very little work and exploit them a lot, and they keep pretending as if they are providing all kinds of comforts to their employees. But the reality is quite the opposite. There can be many reasons for all these things. People who are computer literate have less knowledge of all these things, so it becomes very easy for such people to get trapped in their clutches. If you are working for someone in your own country, then maybe someday you can run away from there and go somewhere. If you get trapped in such jungles in another country, then probably very few paths are open for you.
A few months back I saw a news in which it was shown that many people from India were being sent to countries like Indonesia and Philippines and their passports were being deposited there and then they were being made to do legal work and if they refused to do that work they were punished and their passports and other things were already confiscated due to which they could not travel anywhere. Today, this is just one case which has come before us; who knows how many such cases there might be that are yet to be removed from behind.
Although there are many types of modern-day slavery, I feel that the corporate companies or the corporate world are also doing the same thing. If you see, even though you get money in the private sector, you do not have any time to live your life. You go in the morning and work there the whole day, come home tired at night and then after copying you go to sleep or it may be that you scroll on your phone for some time, but then you fall asleep and the same routing starts again and this is happening in many places and the person who works in these companies does not get time for anything else and he does not even think about other things because he has been trapped in all these webs so badly that even if he wants to get out of here, he cannot. This is also a wolf for them in a way.
I also work in a corporate company, and sometimes I also think about the purpose of my life and what I am doing here, and what the benefit of all these things is for me. Sometimes I consider myself like a labourer and feel that I am trapped in all these webs, and right now I do not see any way out of eating vegetables for 6 days.
