[|Interview with Dr. Joseph D'souza about Human Trafficking and the Caste System] Dr. Joseph D'souza is a activist that has studied India and how the amount of human trafficking is related back to the caste system. Dalits are forced into human trafficking because of their rank and how little money one person might have. Dr. Joseph D'souza and others are trying to educate the public about this problem.
