They are volunteering! They need the money.
Yes, also this region was ravaged my violent communists (Maoists) not so long ago. So they have very few opportunities.
I imagine myself as the one paying someone to do horrible things and uttering this line, and it makes me shudder.

Who is making them work this job?
Mr Poverty and Ms Hunger
This is not new. The British boast of banning slavery but they will never tell you about their invention of bonded labour. They imported bonded labour to South Africa, Guyana and other parts of their empire.
Now companies can use the Internet to keep the labour remote. Doesn't even require a degree.
Curiously, it's the Indians who have taken it upon themselves to master the practice of bonded labour and draw benefit from its ongoing existence.
Do you not think a person who is literally in poverty and who is actually hungry needs the job?
