Where Is Our Daughter

Bombay's red light district is notorious for being the endpoint of a flesh trade that has taken thousands of young Nepali girls from the poverty of hill villages to the raw decadence of a cosmopolitan city. The diversion, enticement and/or kidnapping of Nepali girls to Bombay has found expression in Mira Nair's internationally acclaimed film on street children, Salaam Bombay!

In the film, a Nepali virgin-prostitute known as "Solasaal" becomes the object of love Krishna, a street child and the hero of the film. Solasaal tries rebelliously to flee her kothi with Krishna, but is tamed into submission by a false promise of love from Baba, a pimp and drug dealer. Eventually, she and her purity are sold for 10,000 rupees.
