According to the latest studies slavery still exists among nations. Ironically the countries which got freedom in the last century are home to half the population of such unlucky people.
There are close to 30 million slaves worldwide with India home to nearly half, a new report has claimed. The Global Slavery Index 2013, the first of its kind, estimates there are 13.9 million people living as slaves in India. China is a distant second with 2.9m slaves; followed by Pakistan with 2.1m; Nigeria 0.7m; and Ethiopia 0.6m. But when the number of slaves as a proportion of the country’s population is considered, top is Mauritania, followed by Haiti, Pakistan, India and Nepal.
