Boi system of slavery prevalent in the
Laushai Hills of India. The system
is nothing but slavery. and does not
differ from the reports on Indian
slavery published as far back ae
1S2S-1S37 and 1S41. The acts of
British officials and chiefs IN the

The victims sold their children and
themselves for a meal or small
coin, and thus famine replenished the
slave market. II seems intolerable
that in an age when the obligation Of
the state to relieve distress is so
fully acknowledged poverty should
still be allowed in a small population
in district of Assam to fill the
houses and farms Of so-called chiefs
with unpaid laborers. When a child
has been brought up in chiefs house
it is in some respects a slave. Boys
have to buy their release at the cost
of a "metna." When wives are
bought for slaves the children are
slaves. There can be no doubt that
this so-called local custom involves
the slavery not only Of grown-up
persons whom poverty compels to
sell their freedom for maintenance,
but Of the children even yet unborn.
