Published By: Global Dialogue on eSS | Published Date: January, 01 , 2012There have been numerous investigations in recent years to determine the incidence and prevalence of modern slavery worldwide, and debt bondage in India has been found to be the most extensive form of slavery in existence today, occupying the greatest number of captives.
