Some organizations (Walk Free is one) claim that there are great number of slaves in India still. Do you know the basis for the alleged continuance of slavery there? Racial, caste-based, religious-based, etc?
In short modern slavery is vulnerability based. Criminal gangs of traffickers typically target the poor (as they have kin with the fewest resources to effect recovery) and uneducated (as they are least likely to know they have rights let alone what they are) but any sufficiently displaced person can be vulnerable. They have little idea of who to turn to, maybe lack the local language and are not able to identify their captors relationship with the authorities meaning they are as often frightened of seeking help as of the situation they are in.
India has a particular problem as its wide disparity of regional languages means persons can be transported a relatively short distance to achieve the displacement effect however no where is immune not America not Britain (a recent case near where I live involved conscripted Chinese denied pay and held against their will, another case involved Ukrainians in Lincolnshire and so on), you have African women trafficked into prostitution in Spain and Brazil and other countries and so on and so forth.
It may be illegal but slavery is still alive and kicking.
