In discussing the treatment of indentured servants and equally applicable to our own so-called illegal immigrants Gandhiji writes
A man is brought here, in theory with his own consent, in practice very often without his consent, he gives the best five years of his life, he forms new ties, forgets the old ones, perhaps establishes a home here, and he cannot, according to my view of right and wrong, be sent back.What a wonderful statement of an economics that is at once moral, historical, and holistic!
