"Devi's almost mythical status in India had its roots in the early 1980s when she was
on the run as the head of a bandit gang
in the ravines of central India.
Her story was the subject of films and books, most notably "Bandit Queen" directed by
Shekhar Kapur.
Born into a poor family from the low-caste Mallah community, Devi was forced into
marriage at age 11 to a man more than 20
years her senior.
She ran away from her abusive husband and was kidnapped several years later by
lower-caste bandits who roamed the lawless
Chambal Ravines in India's central Hindu heartland. "
Real life is stranger, and more interesting than fiction sometimes...:-\
