Modern day slavery comes in many forms, through demagogues, authoritarian regimes, depraved politicians and even through a tea vendor.
When political demagogues hold the nation to ransom at their whims and fancies by projecting their deranged ideologies, the nation is in bondage.
When national leaders feed the populace with lies and false promises, the citizens are taken for a ride to the slavery of submission and terror.
When religious fanatics and scare craw prophets lull people into becoming blind devotees, it is nothing but spiritual slavery and moral depravity.
When freedom of speech is the right of only the chosen few and the rest are treated as outcaste and criminals, the ruling dispensation becomes a slave master.
When the nation’s assets are sold to private vendors leaving the masses in dire poverty and misery, the governing fraternity becomes slave masters and the corporate and business lobbies become slave traders.
That is where citizens should become aware of the pitfalls and resist such dangers.
