Neo-Slavery.


We are living in the greatest age of 'deception'. We think we are free but we are indeed in the state of slavery. 

In ancient times, and still in few parts of the world, Black people faced severe racial discrimination form the White people. They faced the most violent form of  human slavery in human history. Practically, they were not considered human beings.

The increase in human awareness gradually helped black people to get rid of that pathetic life. Although, it did not end the process of exploitation. Slavery transformed itself into a more complex form: Neo-Slavery.

The third world countries are the main victims of this form of exploitation and the main reason of this situation is the lack of quality education. The result is very few number of people are able to make true analysis of the state of affairs. Majority of the people are unable to question the sanity of the process. We are either unable to question the wrong doings or accept the situation with various selfish reasons.

The result is that the few number of people who make the ruling elite manage to control us. We are being fooled by the slogans of democracy but it's really difficult to find real democracy. Since democracy only count heads and the true essence of democracy can only be achieved if the majority of people can think freely without any prejudice, racism and are able to analyze the situation selflessly.

The ultimate result is the Neo-Slavery. We are living in a consciousness that we have choice and freedom to vote but in real sense it's an 'illusion' of choice. In fact, we are making choices according to the vested interests of elite class. We are being controlled in every manner.

Change from the this form of exploitation is only possible if every person has an opportunity to get the highest form of education without any discrimination and class difference. Education level should be equal for every one regardless of any prejudice. Only then we can assume that its a free society where every one can think at an optimum level.
