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?
Of course. And since they truly need it, we may as well make it as cheap and abusive as possible, right?
They should be paid a premium above market rate? Why? Generosity?

Where did I say that? I'm explaining to the parent poster.
She can quit anytime she wants, let's not compare this to indentured servitude, Sanjay.
This is a consequence of communism and big government of India.
I don’t think she can quit anytime soon unless she wants to be homeless. If she has option she wouldn't be doing such kind of job.
Generally, Indians live with their parents until their marriage. So I am guessing she won't be homeless.
Subtle argumentation is not one of your strengths, Leo.
