EP 54: India‘s Bandit Queen - Phoolan Devi

Phoolan Devi always gets her revenge. 

When she was eleven, Phoolan had been married off to a man nearly three times her age. He was abusive and she ran away, again and again. She would eventually get her revenge - dragging him out of his home, stabbing him, and leaving him for dead. 

When her gang of bandits turned on her, she was abducted. Brought to a village, raped, beaten, humiliated. After escaping, she would get her revenge again. She would lead a new gang, and seek out the very men who degraded her. And when she couldn't find them, she would have 22 young men from that same village killed...
