It speaks of your intelligence. Hindus are non-Muslims and we have no concept of slavery in our religion. None of the Eastern religions do.
Stop trying to shove the Islam treats slaves better than non-Muslims do. In our view Islam is barbarian for just legitimising slavery regardless of whether their 'condition improved' or not.
There were many practices which were considered norms in the past but considered wrong as per modern standards of right or wrong and slavery is one of them. You had many evil practices in ancient India and some of them even being practised today i.e fire-walking, widow burning(sati), baby tossing , female Infanticide etc
Did invaders asked you to practice caste system where you oppress fellow Hindu and discriminate them socially and economically ? You should thanks Britain that they made laws against some of evil practices existed in India otherwise your local kings/raja/Maharaja were not any less cruel or oppressive than some of these invaders
When you talk about slavery then How you will justify this now? Whom you will blame for this?

India has more people living in modern slavery than the population of the
Netherlands, a new report estimates.
Of the 167 countries surveyed, the South Asian country has the highest number of people living in slavery–more than 18 million people, or 1.4% of the population.
The
2016 Global Slavery Index from the Walk Free Foundation said modern slavery comes in many forms, from domestic to sexual to bonded and child labor. The term refers to a situation in which a person has taken away another’s freedom so they can be exploited.
Globally, 45.8 million people are enslaved, the report estimated. The countries with the highest prevalence as a proportion of the population were North Korea, Uzbekistan, Cambodia, India, and Qatar. But India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan had the highest absolute numbers.
“All forms of modern slavery continue to exist in India, including intergenerational bonded labor, forced child labor, commercial sexual exploitation, forced begging, forced recruitment into non-state armed groups and forced marriage,” the report said.
It is hard to know exactly how many people are subject to slavery, the authors of the report admitted. In India, Gallup conducted the surveys in 15 states that were used as the basis for the estimate.
Among the sectors known known to use slave labor in India were the construction, sex, agriculture, fishing and manufacturing industries as well as domestic help and begging, the report said.

Indian law doesn’t differentiate between human trafficking and sex work, so it is difficult to know how many people are stuck in sexual slavery, the report said.
The survey also counted people who had been forced into marriage and children who were forced into armed opposition groups. The country’s brick making business is one of the worst offenders the report said.
“The country’s steady population growth and the corresponding demand for improvement of infrastructure and increased dwellings have enabled the ʻblood bricks’ produced in these industries to continue,” it said.
Pakistan had the third-largest number of people in modern slavery, more than 2 million.
Bonded labor is one of the most prevalent forms of modern slavery there, according to rights groups. Though prohibited under law, the practice hasn’t been eliminated, and persists especially in the brick-making industry and agriculture.
