The two soft-drink makers have helped turn the state of Maharashtra into a sugar-producing powerhouse. But a New York Times and Fuller Project investigation has found that these brands have also profited from a brutal system of labor that exploits children and leads to the unnecessary sterilization of working-age women.
Young girls are pushed into illegal child marriages so they can work alongside their husbands cutting and gathering sugar cane. Instead of receiving wages, they work to pay off advances from their employers — an arrangement that requires them to pay a fee for the privilege of missing work, even to see a doctor.

Sugar producers and buyers have known about this abusive system for years. Coca-Cola’s consultants, for example, visited the fields and sugar mills of western India and, in 2019, reported that children were cutting sugar cane and laborers were working to repay their employers. They documented this in a report for the company, complete with an interview with a 10-year-old girl.
In an unrelated corporate report that year, the company said that it was supporting a program to “gradually reduce child labor” in India.
Labor abuse is endemic in Maharashtra, not limited to any particular mill or farm, according to a local government report and interviews with dozens of workers. Maharashtra sugar has been sweetening cans of Coke and Pepsi for more than a decade, according to an executive at NSL Sugars, which operates mills in the state.

In the fields, Ms. Chaure, like the others, sleeps on the ground, spends hours a day hunched over and carries heavy loads on her head.
Tampons and pads are expensive and hard to find, and there is nowhere to dispose of them. Without access to running water, women address their periods in the fields, with reused cloth that they try to wash discreetly by hand.

The India that have billion dollar weddings, IPL millions and Modi spending trillions for arms, but young girls are forced into modern day slavery under his nose. The Indian contractors are backers and provide $$$ to BJP.

Contractors, too, have an incentive to find brides, even if it means pressuring parents to marry off young daughters, said Tatwashil Baburao Kamble, the former head of Beed’s child-welfare committee.
“I’ve seen cases where the contractors tried to get it done before taking laborers to the farm — all their belongings were packed,” Mr. Kamble said. “All that was left was to get married.”
Some contractors even lend money for weddings.
“I’ve paid for weddings, for hospital bills,” said Bapurao Balbhim Shelke, a contractor who formerly worked for Dalmia Bharat Sugar.

“I just add the amount to the next year’s bill, and they can work it off,” said Dattu Ashruba Yadav, a contractor who lives in Beed. He said he had lent one couple 50,000 rupees, or about $600, for their wedding. That represents several months of a typical couple’s earnings.

Why are you focused on India look at your Pakistan
Major Social Problems In Pakistan
1- Illiteracy.
2- Poverty.
3- Unemployment.
4- Child Labor.
5- Poor Health Infrastructure.
6- Foreign Debts & Unstable Economy.
Pakistan's debt-to-GDP ratio is currently above 70%, and both the IMF and credit rating agencies predict that the interest payments on its debt will significantly impact the government's revenues this year.
That ratio is quite unfavorable compared to other sizable economies globally.
A significant portion of the population resorts to criminal activities due to their inability to secure a livelihood through legitimate means.
Poverty is the primary cause of crime and violence in Pakistan.
Prostitution, being the most prevalent form of human trafficking, is primarily fueled by poverty.
There were notable concerns regarding human rights, such as reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings by the government or its agents.
Forced disappearances by the government or its agents were also reported.
The government or its agents documented instances of torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.
It is concerning that the national birth registration rate for children under five is only 34%.
It is unfortunate that a significant number of Pakistani children are caught in the cycle of child labor, which denies them their rightful childhood, access to proper healthcare and education,
and subjects them to a future of poverty and deprivation.
Children in Pakistan are often forced into extremely difficult and exploitative labor, including commercial sexual exploitation, which is sometimes a result of human trafficking.
Children are also involved in hazardous activities such as domestic work, brick manufacturing, and agriculture.
Child labor remains a pressing issue in Pakistan, as numerous children are compelled to work in order to provide for their families.
Unfortunately, this circumstance poses a significant challenge for their regular attendance at school.
Addressing gender discrimination: Girls frequently face discrimination in Pakistan, which leads to their exclusion from educational opportunities.
It is estimated that the number of street children in Pakistan is on the rise, reaching an estimated 1.5 million.
Factors such as displacement, migration, extreme poverty, and an increasing number of children forced to leave their homes due to violence in their households, workplaces,
and educational institutions are responsible for this increase.
Disability is prevalent among Pakistani children, likely due to the cultural tradition of consanguineous marriages.
This community requires specialized assistance for children with disabilities and their families, providing them with general support and appropriate genetic counseling.

Emir speaks for the Poor, Oppressed and Downtrodden.
Why you questioning his motives?
He obviously has high expectations for India in particular, and who can blame him?
