Transatlantic slave trade showed what ungoverned, lawless globalisation can lead to: India

India has described the centuries-long transatlantic slave trade as one of the most tragic and inhumane chapters in recorded human history, saying it showed what an "ungoverned and lawless" globalisation can lead to.

It has also said that transatlantic slave has destroyed millions of lives over generations and changed the socio-economic fabric of societies in Africa, South America and the Carribean.

"The transatlantic slave trade lasting over 400-years, has undeniably been one of the most tragic and inhumane chapters in recorded human history," First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India to the UN Paulomi Tripathi said Wednesday in the UN General Assembly on 'Commemoration of the Abolition of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.'
She said transatlantic slave trade was the "manifestation of greed and immoral pursuit for profit, coupled with unbridled abuse of power exercised by mighty over the weak, that forced millions from their homes to toil in faraway lands."
It destroyed millions of lives over generations and changed the socio-economic fabric of societies in Africa, South America and the Caribbean and was an instance of what "an ungoverned and lawless globalisation can lead to."
