Rajasthan has a big trafficking problem and there are recent reports of young girls being kidnapped and injected with cattle hormones, causing them to develop breasts earlier. They are then sold to brothels throughout India and the Middle East. Despite numerous reports, the government has not done a thing. In fact, while we were there, we met with an aspiring politician who actually turned out to be part of the problem. He was supposed to take us to meet with families who had first hand knowledge of the problem, but instead he just kind of spun as around, leading us away from any valuable information.
