Nearly half the slaves in the world live in India. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, one of the leaders, said: “We can make people who enslave realise that what they are doing is a crime against God … Slavery is the worst insult you can give to God. This is where faith leaders and spiritual people can make a big impact in transforming the minds and hearts of people.”
