30 to 40 years? You're kidding, right? And even if it were that long, that could be potentially worse. Then you're talking at least one, maybe two generations of Indians who have become dependent upon Mother Coke to pay off their debts and put food on their tables.
Yes, because the few hundred Indians who work at the Coke plant will be reflective of the rest of Indian society, which is completely dependent on Coke.

You're forgetting the caste system again. There's only a few brands of Indian who would be allowed to consider working in the Coke factory.

This is hardly the case when you have third world nations serving as exporting nations to Western nations that are primarily importing nations. There's one boat rising, and it's got DVD players with surround sound.
Puh-leese. India is hardly a Third World country. When half your population lives like we do in the West, and the other half get to muck out clogged sewers, it's a social problem, not the fault of corporations.

Right. So back to how that justifies perpetuating such conditions....?
Perpetuating how? Like I said in my previous post, Coke is providing a product that millions of Indians use, throw away and stop caring about like the rest of us.
