You can take the child out of the slums, but you can't take the slum mentality out of the child's life

Rafiq Qureshi, father of "Slumdog Millionaire" child actress Rubina Ali, was caught putting his daughter up for SALE for 200,000 rupees. According to Rafiq, Hollywood left him no better option: "I have to consider what's best for me, my family and Rubina's future. We've got nothing out of this film." That is true to a certain extent. Producers of "Slumdog Millionaire" found it in the child's best interest to withhold 30,000 rupees for when she turns 18, as long as she stays in school. The father also gets 6,500 rupees a month (a blue-collar wage), though he argues it's not enough. The producers of the blockbuster film are essentially being criticized for safeguarding Rubina's future from money-grubbing parents. Unfortunately, as this video entails, human trafficking abounds in India. Tragic.
