Bonded slaves a 21st Century Evil
Loading...
Uploaded by Nationalxpress on Oct 27, 2011
In this episode of Slavery: A 21st Century Evil, Al Jazeera's Rageh Omaar investigates slavery that is passed down from father to son, mother to daughter.
"There is no way out. How do I get out? I have no way out of this. My grandfather died here, my father has grown old here, and I am growing old too. We are slaves, we are not free."
Ashraf, a bonded labourer
Although the practice of bonded labour is common in several parts of the world, in Pakistan and India, the systematic enslavement of generations of workers is widespread as governments fail to enforce their own laws against bonded labour.
Rageh meets men, women and children labouring in quarries and brick kilns, in dangerous conditions and for effectively no pay.
Most of these slaves have been held for generations, paying off a supposed 'loan' taken out by their grandparents.
Some have been lucky enough to escape but others have had to buy their way out of it by selling their organs to help pay off the 'debt'.

This film shows Pakistan as a very backward country. Why don't politicians like Imran Khan speak out about this. They are inviting the USA to invade them to save people like this as they seem no better than Taliban and the rest of the west will agree. Does Koran support slavery??? No wonder Pakistan is a Pariah state. So who cares if USA bombs them. They cannot expect sympathy when they enslave their children...Shame on Pakistan...They need to get civilized. And this is a country with Nukes.

How come these Pakistani punjabi people accent sound like Indians? Pakistani and Indian punjabi accents are distinct and someone who speaks the language can easily tell the difference.

Slave at 6:50 speaks VERY GOOD Punjabi for Paki standard... Are you sure he's not an Indian born person? I'm questioning this because I speak the language and can distinguish pretty well b/ween Punjabi of Indian side and Paki side...

Pakistan does not have civilized society because it is ruled by Feudal Landlords... Even today... A land of great potential wasted away to make the followers of "RELIGION OF PEACE" happy...
