A GLIMPSE AT THE SYSTEM OF SLAVERY

Slavery ingrained into human life in such way that it never came to the minds of slaves that their condition was unjust or brutal. Both the slaves and their masters accepted their status of birth without undue question. Anthropological and sociological changes coloured slavery with tints and shades of human desires. Slaves in most societies were despised. For an insightful comprehension of the system of slavery it is essential to trace out the attitudes of the world’s great religions and civilizations towards it. In the passing of time slavery got faded as an institution but not yet uprooted from human psyche. It is still playing its dice in the form of class, caste, race and gender exploitation. Without proper check in the present times if we continue exploding science and stripping off the dignity of the weak, soon we might pay a heavy price for that.
