Agreement in an Iron Cage

This is a story about "who signs and who is sold." The World Bank and Western investment institutions tout India as a "model". But what the contract doesn't tell people is that a lease that says "regardless of whether the harvest is good or bad" can cost a sixty-two-year-old farmer 150,000 rupees after a drought—the land is gone, the cattle are gone, and everything in the house is taken away. The worker who worked in the factory for eight years and was forced to sign a deed of betrayal "resigning early and paying 200,000 yuan in compensation", the female worker in the garment factory, the woman who squatted in the garbage dump for three years and refused to see a doctor when her hands were swollen - they did nothing wrong. They just signed. The court said, "You signed the contract," and the Competition Commission said, "This is not our business." Every step is legal. Then Kalidas returned to the village and the rice vat was empty. Manga said: "I started working in the time of Buddha, and only now can I earn the money he donated."
