Darling Rubina played young Latika in British director Danny Boyle�s movie that won eight Oscars. This sort of transaction is far from uncommon in an impoverished nation where human life comes cheap and children are often treated as a commodity. But often these children end up being sold into slavery or other less noble purposes. Apparently though, Rubina�a parents got the idea when one wealthy Middle Eastern family who saw their plight in an item on Al Jazeera TV, expressed an interest in adopting their young daughter. The newspaper though seems to strongly believe the father is more interested in finding the highest bidde, then any noble intentions to find a better life for his daughter.
