Phoolan Devi Biography

Phoolan Devi is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 10, 1963 in Jalaun, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Shortly after her final sojourn in her husband’s house, and in the same year (1979), Phoolan fell in with one such gang of dacoits. How exactly this happened is unclear; some say that she was kidnapped by them because her “spirited temperament,” estrangement from her own family and outspoken rejection of her husband had attracted the attention of the bandits, while others say that she “walked away from her life.” In her autobiography, she merely says “kismet ko yehi manzoor tha” (“it was the dictate of fate”) that she become part of a gang of bandits.

Within a few months, Phoolan, this time no longer a virgin, again returned to her parents. Shortly afterwards, her in-laws returned the gifts that Phoolan’s parents had given them and sent word that under no circumstances would they accept Phoolan back again. This was in 1979 and Phoolan was only a few months past her sixteenth birthday. She later claimed in her autobiography that her husband was a man of “very bad character.” A wife leaving her husband, or being abandoned by her husband, is a serious taboo in rural India, and Phoolan was marked as a social outcast.

Shekhar Kapur made a movie Bandit Queen (1994) about Phoolan Devi’s life up to her 1983 surrender, based on Mala Sen’s 1993 book India’s Bandit Queen: The True Story of Phoolan Devi. Although Phoolan Devi is a heroine in the film, she fiercely disputed its accuracy and fought to get it banned in India. She even threatened to immolate herself outside a theater if the film were not withdrawn. Eventually, she withdrew her objections after the producer Channel 4 paid her £40,000. The film brought her international recognition. Author- activist Arundhati Roy in her film review entitled, “The Great Indian Rape Trick”, questioned the right to “restage the rape of a living woman without her permission”, and charged Shekhar Kapur with exploiting Phoolan Devi and misrepresenting both her life and its meaning.
