I was amazed by how easy is to buy a child in India. I also read the article on the website of News of the World http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/271325/Slumdog-Millionaire-star-Rubina-Ali-who-played-Latika-is-offered-for-sale-by-dad-Rafiq-Qureshi-to-the-News-of-the-Worlds-Fake-Sheikh.html . People in India are trying to escape poverty by selling their children to complete strangers that they do not know anything about. It looks to me like a very good place for pedofiles to get very young children. I hope that has not happen but I have my doubts. This article also brings to light the poverty in India. Rubina started in a movie that won eight Oscars and still lives in one of the pores places in India the slum called Poor Man’s Colony.
