Many others like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela have campaigned against slavery. In Indian society there are 4 types of groups,named Brahmins,Shatriyas,Vaishya and Shudras.This is social stratification of society. The shudras are generally treated as slave class of society.Some are compelled to carry night soil at their shoulders,while some are forced to do work of sweepers or washerman etc.Therefore slavery is form of social stratification.

Answer 2

Slavery is a form of social stratification because it involves the forced control and exploitation of one group of people by another based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, or socio-economic status. It perpetuates inequality by denying the enslaved individuals basic human rights and opportunities for advancement, leading to a hierarchical social structure where one group has power and dominance over another.
