    Unfortunately, this is the story for the large part of the developing world… I’m not saying it’s not inhumane, immoral and absolutely disgusting, but the options available for people working in bonded labor are limited: This or starvation.

    @PercyBeanProductions i don’t think anyone has to starve.. you can always everywhere at least grow or find enough food to live.. well you can’t if you have 5 kids i guess.. and people in such situations usually get a lot of children for the sole purpose of adding workforce to their family and don’t see that this just creates an endless circle of dependencies

    Not sure how many of you commenters clicked through to find out about this - not many would be my guess.
    Let’s be clear - bonded labour is already illegal in India and Pakistan. The landlord is breaking the law in a HUGE way and no-one cares. Ask yourselves why that is and what that might mean for the people who try to resist this criminal or try to escape. Yeah, arrested BY THE POLICE and brought straight back, then beaten (or worse).
    Here, read this:
    “Bonded labour, also called debt bondage or peshgi, is a form of slavery in which poor workers, instead of taking wages in exchange for their work, take advance payment from an employer at exorbitant interest rates, and in return pledge themselves, or one or more members of their family to work until the loan is paid off.”
    Which is never, of course. 100Rs per day is never paid to them! It’s the rate the debt is paid off and carefully designed to be so low they can never escape.
    Cheap jeans anyone? $5 jeans come from sources like this - and so do some $50 jeans. Think before you shop for pity’s sake.

    @stirwins333 I tend to doubt that only because according to sharia law muslims may not enslave other muslims. Everyone else is fair game, though.
    So, it’s not a matter of trying to justify anything. Simply a matter of actually having an idea of what I’m talking about.

    Translation=WRONG. I understand it. When it says “We pick cotton in the fields” he actually says “If I don’t go the landlord will beat me” or at least “No, if I go the landlord will beat me.” Who translated this? Also, just a note, some people here are not related as most of them speak different dialects, some speaking the Urdu equivalent of a hillbilly accent and others speaking some Bengali. If you want translation for an exact line, reply giving the part you want me to translate.

    Dicken’s romanticism aside, child labour ended child labour. Whence enough capital had been accumulated, most employers gladly moved away from having to hire and manage children, and parents could afford to send the children school. The problem with Pakistan is that it ranks very low on its economic freedom index, especially when it comes to property rights and labour freedom. Its the Islamic religion that dominates the region; contrast that to the “Classical Liberalism” that dominated the uk.

    That is hypocritical. The problem is property rights, and you can’t solve that problem by violating more property rights. As far as I can see anyway, the children and father are free to leave, and so to a certain extent, they are suffering the consequences of their own action.

    Its important to study the history of China and its land reform. Mao essentially purged all the landlords, and gave all the land to peasants. In return, several million landlords were humiliated, killed, or sent off to work camps. Even with the peasants receiving their land from their “cruel oppressors”, China none the less would deteriorate like a public bathroom. The ends never justify the means, and rarely do the means give a just end.

    @mrfiux You do realize that the system is crippled because there are people who don’t give a crap if a bunch of coloured people somewhere in the asshole of africa/asia are made into slaves. They make a fucking shirt, give it away to some faggot who’ll sell it for $300 on ebay cause he says it’s fashionable. And it works, with the huge amount of media brainwashing mostly women.
    We already have fucking holograms and towns running on solar energy but there are still niggers picking cotton.

    @cricketbat08 You have it backwards. You should have said if and when these injustices are corrected, this Asian country will prosper. The reason America has done so well economically is because we educate children and recognize that women have the same rights as men. These things are not luxuries, they are what is needed for a healthy society.

    If there is no real form of law or justice system in that particular region I don’t see why they take that kind of abuse just lying down, making the land lord meet with an unfortunate accident could be pretty simple seeing as there are no apparent repercussions when it comes to the landlords abuse and what not. Simply put, its a 2 way street. If no one will hand you justice, then take it yourself.

    Oh you misunderstood, I am not defending slavery here, I am just attacking the ignorant notion of “‘Ain’t no reason why nobody need to suffer in poverty while others are gettin’ richer.”
    All people should be recognized as individuals with basic fundamental human rights. There is no right though to economic equality, because such would involve the taking of wealth by force from other individuals.
    If that is not a satisfactory response, then I challenge you to a debate~(Skype/IRC)

    @wrathallll @0rth0doxFTW They’re picking cotton at this farm. You can’t eat cotton. They could try to build a village but because most of the people here are children and none of them have been educated, I don’t think their attempts to establish civilisation would work. The government is clearly corrupted because they allow this to happen. In fact, they probably like guys like this landlord because he’s helping the economy. If he had a crime committed against him, it would be taken seriously.

    @kristopheraugust - This is an adequate medium for a debate :P Communism is not what Gift of Gab is implying in that rap lyric, at least not to me. To explain what he is saying, I’ve got to bring back my original statistic saying that the 3 richest people in the world having more financial assets than the lowest 48 nations combined. Can you provide a reason that all the people in those 48 nations must live on something like $1 a day while 3 men own more than all of them combined?

    @kristopheraugust - Communism is not the answer but neither is setting up the world’s economy with your buddies to allow the richest 1% of the world to own 40% of the world’s resources. Especially when people are starving to death. I made the original comment because the landlord in the video takes all the profit while the slaves owe him money… This is literally how the Federal Reserve works. If we paid back all the debt in the world, there would be no money in circulation and we’d still owe.

    Such is like claiming 1 minute is adequate for any medical operation; Certainly 500 characters or less in a cluttered interface only serves the purpose for those who have simple arguments and little reasoning.
    Communism technically has nothing to do with this, it simply gets confused with the Socialist ideologies that came under its guise.

    We should move to a gold standard, if your critique is on the purpose of a federal reserve; that insomuch I agree with.
    Communism could be the answer [for whoever so wishes such a system] (understanding the difference between socialism and communism), but the only way to reach that point is through lessaiz faire capitalism. If we had a voluntary society in which all people had individual, economic, and political representation backed by law, then there would be little bondage.

    The pre-requisite knowledge is to understand the difference between corporatism (or the economics of fascism) and capitalism. With a proper understanding, one would quickly understand the question in reverse; Why can’t the 48 poorest nations equal the wealth of just 3 individuals? Perhaps the best empirical approach is to look at one of the Economic Freedom Indexes, and observe how the less capitalistic the economy is, the greater level of poverty exists.

    Why don’t you do an exposé like this on the slavery—not bonded servitude—in the country where you live & where RocketBoom is produced? As I watched this video, I kept thinking “it’s so much worse here in U.S.A. agriculture”. I met an ex-slave who escaped & exposed a slave farm. And agriculture is one of the leading slave using industries in the U.S.A. The garment, domestic servant & sex industries are also big slave users in this country. The victims are foreigners brought here illegally.

    A person can also become a bonded labourer when he or she is tricked into taking a loan. The person is forced to work long hours for little or no pay, often for seven days a week in order to repay the debt. The loan seldom gets paid back mainly due to the high interest rates, and passes from one generation to another. As a result entire families and future generations are held in bondage, working for the employer, with little hope of escaping the debt trap.

    Bonded labor my ass. It’s still just a shyster version of human slavery. This has been going on for centuries, and this is not the only spot in the world. It’s rife in the cacao fields in the Ivory coast of Africa. The sweat shops of Asia, The coffee and fruit plantations of S. America. The sex trade in Mexico. As long as 1st world nations want to pay for cheap goods like Hershey chocolates, Wal-mart $7 t-shirts or Starbucks coffee etc… If there is a God I hope he sh*ts on those profiteers.

    @manocake1 There’s no such illness but if you mean a psychological disorder (like ADHD?) then that’s caused only by modern society’s environment so i doubt that the kids who live like that will develop ADD or ADHD or things like that.

    I think some of the subtitles are wrong. Like at the beginning the boy talks about being beaten several times and it’s not said.
    But, I couldn’t find anything that was significantly miss translated.
    My Urdu isn’t that great so I could be mistaken.

    I hate the fact that I am just a child without any money to help these people. I hate the fact that I know some many things that are wrong in this world and I can’t do anything to help.
    But when I hear about people like Craig Kielburger, I just wonder, how can I be like him?

    I feel like the worst part of this entire situation is that these children that are being forced to be indentured servants, could very well of grown up to become world leaders and have huge impacts on the world.

    I don’t understand, what’s wrong with indentured servitude, or slavery for that matter?
