India has been ranked 4th among 167 countries when it comes to countries with the highest proportion of their population in modern slavery.The survey data suggests that there are more than 18 million people living in conditions of modern slavery in India. Industries implicated include domestic work, the construction and sex industries, agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, manual labour, and forced begging.
