While we may have entered the 21st century, bonded labour is still a reality in India. Manav Gupta and Kashish Gupta analyse the laws in India to probondtect from bonded labour and comment on the inadequacy of State initiatives to curb this menace.

Last month, a man was booked by police in Palghar district’s Mokhada for allegedly putting a tribal villager who had borrowed Rs. 500 from him into bonded labour. According to the police, a tribal named Kalu Pawar borrowed the amount from the accused, Ramdas Ambu Korde, because he needed money to perform the last rites for his son, who died in November last year.

In return, Korde allegedly ordered Pawar to work on his property and take his animals for grazing.

Pawar began working at Korde’s residence after performing his son’s funeral rites, but his pay was not fixed. Korde used to feed him one bhakri (unleavened bread made of jowar, bajra, or other wheat) every morning, followed by a supper at night but no lunch. Korde would scream at Pawar and scare him with grave repercussions if he begged for money.

According to the complaint, Mokhada police have filed a case against Korde under the Bonded Labor System (Abolition) Act and section 374 of IPC. This is a recent case, but there are many instances where either police have not registered the case or the victim themselves do not file a lawsuit due to lack of knowledge and financial resources.
