Original Note:
NNN Indika is not a reliable source. Strabo counters the slavery statement based on a report by Onesicritus. Historians as Shireen Moosvi & Romila Thapar theorize that slaves were outcasts and were not considered members of society at all, which would have confused Megasthenes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indica_(Megasthenes)
