On February 14, 1981, 18-year-old Phoolan Devi had only one thing on her mind: revenge. Waiting outside the remote village of Behmai on the Yamuna River in northern India, a band of about 20 dacoits (bandits) waited for her instructions. The dacoits were from three different gangs, but their goal was the same: to hunt down the treacherous Ram brothers, Sri Ram Singh and Lala Ram Singh. Sri Ram was a vicious gang leader who had spent time in prison. He was the focus of Phoolan Devi's lust for justice because he had murdered her lover, Vikram Mallah, as she slept by his side.

Phoolan Devi wearing bandit gear

Slight in build but strong and agile, Phoolan wore a military-style khaki jacket, denim jeans, and zippered boots. Her dark, straight hair was cut short, ending at her neck. By some accounts, she was wearing lipstick and red nail polish. A wide red bandanaâ€”the symbol of vengeanceâ€” was tied around her head, covering her hairline and brows. She carried a Sten rifle and a bandolier across her chest. While she mourned for her lover, she did not want to be treated as a woman. She wanted her comrades to think of her as a man because she wanted the kind of revenge only a man could achieve in India's caste-bound society. She had told them to call her "Phool," the masculine version of her given name.

A lady who was known a dreaded dacoit ,killed 23 males of a village bringing them togethor made them to stand and shot them in order to take the revenge from a particular caste and herself was murdered. It's the example in a society where justice

cause havoc and set a chain of reactions .

Phoolan Devi was a woman who had been wronged by many men, tortured barbarously by her husband to whom she was married at the age of nine or ten. but she was a woman of steel and finally gathered all her courage, took revenge and killed all those who had out-raged her modesty. she, per se became a dreaded dacoit. finally she was arrested and put behind bars. then a biographic book was written on her which was later translated into a movie. after a great deliberation from a lot of quarters, she was set free; she then fought the elections and was elected the member of parliament but met her tragic end by being shot in broad daylight.
