As we know, Phoolan Devi, a former bandit and a current MP from UP, was gunned down today (25th of July 2001). Here is a link that talks about her.

Excerpt from the above article...

"...the Bandit Queen was really a wisp of a girl: less than five feet tall, with flat high cheekbones, a full flat nose, and slit eyes. She looked like a Nepalese boy."

Funny how the comparison is made!

Yes, I also briefly paused there.."Nepalese boy"..description. But I was too occupied to read all about her (in that article)so I just ignored that. What a violent life for her!
