    But who made her notorious bandit?The tortures on her and the benumbed administration forced her to resort such path.Really so. Phoolan Devi the name is a symbol of protest against horrible rape and gang rape .The whole 80s she was a point of discussion.Really a name of mixed melody.She suffered unmeasurable pains and agonies being a woman. She never got a bit of peace .She was killed while she was member of parliament.Phoolan Devi a name to remember in the pages of bloods and violence but ended in criical climax.

    I don't think what she did was wrong she was gang rapped many times did any one came to help her? I salute her bravery but till now there is someone being rapped every minute in India what have the authorities saying ? Women's they are fighting for the liberation till now they are still living in fear,they are branded as bandit if they take laws in their own hands to wipe the sex starving animals ,,,,😭
