Problems India Faces

Although India may seem great on the surface, it is not all it's cracked up to be...

There are three main problems in India, human traficking, child exploitation, and forced labor.  Human traficking is the modern day slavery, or taking people by threat, abduction, or force, for the purpose of exploiting them.  India has been on the Tier 2 Watch list for the fifth year in a row due to the fact that they don't make enough efforts to try and stop this horrible issue.  Government authorities rescued victims, but failed to put the human trafickers in jail.  1.2 million children in India are caught up in human traficking.  Child exploitation is when children are forced to do dangerous work.  According to the Indian government, there are 20 million child exploiters in India, but according to other agencies, there are 50 million. Along with human traficking, child exploitation is completely wrong and does not follow human right laws.  Children deserve a good education and a joyful childhood. Forced labor is pretty much slavery.  Its when a person or people make people work in dangerous conditions with hardly any breaks for minimal to no pay.  I think all of these problems are caused from poverty.  When people become very poor, it seems they will do anything to get more money, such force people to do unfair work and put them in danger.  It also could be from having a poor education system, and since people aren't educated enough to work, they forced to do manual labor jobs to stay alive.
