We cannot put everything on the people, particularly if the civil societies are under attack.
What should we be asking India to do?
How does a country like this have 12 million to 14 million slaves in the year 2016? How does that happen?
This is a democratic ally, friend. Are we being candid with them in regards to what is expected in regards to trafficking?
I just hope that we are getting candid discussions.
It is important that this committee have this hearing to look at the deepening ties between India and the United States.
But how could you have that many slaves? I mean, seriously. Do they have just zero prosecution abilities, zero law enforcement?
I can also bring up their anti-conversion laws that are problematic in regards to how they are dealing with religious freedom.
We need to know that we have a reliable partner in India in fighting terrorism.
Clearly anti-terrorism is going to be a huge issue, fighting forms of extremism.
Before the two Supreme Court decisions, I don't think the enforcement of the Clean Water Act was controversial.
