Abstract

Discussion on the issue of human trafficking in 21st century is definitely quite shameful as the entire worldis transformed into a small place due to globalization. Not only in India, but in almost all the countries ofthe world, this worst form of crime is still existing in some form or other. Through this paper the author hasattempted to analyze the reasons for prevalence of this crime in India even after having concerted effortsby the successive governments to completely eradicate the evil through statutory enactments. Being thesecond largest populous country of the world and having been invaded by a number of foreign invaders, thecountry always suffered in its socio-economic growth. The demographic feature of the country is certainlyanother disadvantage that makes it quite difficult for the governmental schemes to reach the poor peopleliving in the rear ends of the country. Another reason affecting the economy is the refugees coming into thecountry through its porous borders and making it their permanent shelter and expecting their shares from thelimited resources available for the countrymen. It is, in fact, a matter of grave concern that even after havingseveral enactments to deal with human trafficking, still the country is witnessing its prevalence in a largerscale. Prior to the enactment of the Indian Constitution, the Constitution makers too took it very seriouslyfor which traffic in human beings or any forms of forced labour were inserted to be prohibited under Article23. The judiciary has also taken stringent views to eradicate the crime of human trafficking through strictinterpretation of the legislative provisions. But unfortunately it is not being eradicated till today, for which itbecomes imperative for all to introspect the entire system responsible for prevalence of such crime.
