In the 80s, there was so much fear of the name of 'Bandit Queen' Phoolan Devi in the periphery of Chambal that the souls of big people used to tremble. It was said that she was very hard-hearted. However, there was a big reason behind this. According to the experts, the situation that made Phoolan so harsh was that she carried out the mass murder in Bahmai. Phoolan killed 22 Thakurs by standing them in a queue and she did not regret it at all. A book titled Outlaw has been published in Britain on Phoolan Devi, who reached Parliament from the ravines of Chambal, in which many aspects of her life have been discussed. Roy Moxham, the author of reading about the prison sentence that Phoolan Devi had received, began correspondence with her in 1992. When Phoolan Devi answered his letter, Roy Moxham came to India and got the opportunity to get to know Phoolan Devi closely.
Phoolan Devi was born on 10 August 1963 in Purva, a village near Jalaun, UP. Her story also begins from this village. Where she lived with her parents and sisters. In this village near Kanpur, Phoolan's family was looked down upon by the upper castes as they were seafarers. They were treated like slaves. All the land of Phoolan's father was snatched by his real brother after a dispute and forcibly made a bond. Whatever Phoolan's father earned, would have gone to the lawyers' fees due to the land dispute. On July 25, 2001, at the age of 38, Phoolan Devi was murdered in front of her house in Delhi. Sher Singh Rana, who described himself as a warrior fighting for Rajput pride, claimed after Phoolan's murder that he had avenged the murder of the upper castes killed in 1981.
Phoolan grew up in a stifling atmosphere. A vengeance fire started burning inside her. To douse this burning fire, her mother also ignited the fire. When Phoolan turned 11, her cousin Mayadin got her married to an old man named Putti Lal to drive her out of the village. Phoolan's husband raped her soon after her marriage and started torturing her. Frustrated, Phoolan left her husband's house and went back to live with her parents. It was said that Phoolan Devi's target was very accurate and more than that her heart was hard. Many films were also made about her life, but the fear of the police always remained with her. She was especially cruel to the Thakurs, so she always felt the danger of her life. Perhaps she was tired of avoiding the police and Thakurs in the ravines of Chambal, so she made up her mind to lay down her arms.
