Bonded Labour system is the worst manifestation of the operation of the iniquitous socio-economic forces. In a highly polarised society all economic equations are heavily loaded in favour of 'organized-urban-educated high caste pole' and heavily weighed against the 'unorganized-rural-illiterate-low caste pole'. This reports highlights the existence of the bonded labour system in Chattisgarh (erstwhile Madhya Pradesh). It reports on the strategy adopted by NHRC in this state with regards to enforcement of the law and abolition of the system of bonded labour.
