"It's rusting." "Agree, or I'm leaving." "Starved my cow, too." "Wait for how long?" "What if she gets tampered with?" "Another six months, please." "A daughter is always a burden, and ours is no beauty." "I need a wife now." "My mother is old and cannot work." " Dad wants you, PhooIan." " I've brought two buckets of water." "still, he wants you." "Your bridegroom is here." "I'II deal with the bastard." "Not scared?" "Of what?" "AII men are motherfuckers." "Who says?" "Women at the well and in the fields." "Know what it means?" "No." "It must be something cute." "Get a move on." "Now, go quickly." "What's the hurry?" "Touch your husband's feet." "Take his blessings." "What's this?" "Show me." "Hiding these earrings?" "I gave them to her." "Not part of the deal." "Now, just go." "This side is for high caste Thakurs." "Low castes use the other side." "old man's wife!" "Sons of bitches!"

"I'II take your bundle on my bike." "But you'II have to do me a favor, eh?" "Me do a favor for such a big man, the headman's son?" "You're not less than me." "No less than a Thakur?" "That's a joke!" "I Iike you, anyway." " Let me help." " No, I can manage." "I'm going to the fair tomorrow." "Want anything?" "No." "What's this?" "Stop!" "Grab the bitch!" "Trying to trap me, the Iow caste bitch!" "Teach her a lesson." "She's like a bitch in heat." "Break her bones!" "Devideen, the village elders will question your daughter." "You agree?" " Yes, sir." " Go!" "Why were you alone in the field?" "I always go alone." "Your daughter seems to have no respect for Thakurs." "Why did you call Ashok?" "He came on his own." "On his own, did he?" "Ashok, my son, I suppose you offered to carry her bundle?" " Yes, and he said he'd take me to" " I know." "But what did you offer him in return?" "Nothing." " Suresh?" " Yes, uncle." "You tell us." "Don't be shy." "well, she said... that she's itching for it." "Don't laugh." "This girl's bad for our boys." "She'II have to leave the village." " You can't even ride a bike now." " My brakes don't work." "You're a fat slob." "Wait for me." "I don't wait for anyone." "These days, you move like a goat." "I said, "These days, there are lots of goats here."" "What a view." "totally wonderful." " Are you saying things about me?" " Yes." "You can say things about me." "Such as?" "KaiIash, how handsome you are, just like a movie star!" "You're a baldy." "Don't laugh." "Sit on my rod." "My wife's not here." "So?" "I'm your cousin." "I wish you weren't." "I'II pedal, you sit on the rod." "I can do it, you'II see." "I can't sit there." "I'II sit behind." "AII right, fat slob." "Be careful." "Mastana, he's here." "Don't!" "Stop teasing me!" " What's this?" " hello, Brother Madho." "What took you so long?" "Who is she?" "Her?" "She's my driver." "Does she give a good ride?" "Who's she?" "Nobody." "Won't say a word." "She's dumb." "If you're talking about me, talk to me." "So she's dumb?" "Who is she?" "Speak to me, I said." " Does she know who we are?" " Bandits, what else?" "I'm not stupid." "I was born in this land, too." "Why isn't she with her husband?" "I Ieft him." " Where's her father?" " I Ieft him, too." " KaiIash, I'm speaking to you." " I'm telling you." "She's our caste." "A Thakur tried to force himself on her." "Beat her and her father." "They threw her out of the village." "She's living in my house." "girl!" "The sisterfucker must have been desperate to want you!" "I didn't give you permission to go." "Now, go." " So you've seen Vikram again?" " Mind your own business." "You look like a bridegroom." "hello, Sister-In-Law." "tell her now." "What we decided." "I've changed my mind." "I'II tell her myself, then." "Be quiet." "You've been here long enough." "Aren't you planning to leave?" "PhooIan!" "Where are you going?" "Mind your own business!" "Go and live under your wife's thumb!" "slave!" "The Thakurs won't allow you back." " Don't be stubborn." " I'II see." "The train's coming!" "You were expelled from the village." "Why did you return?" "Because I had nowhere else to go." "How many men have you had?" "Why have you arrested me?" "The headman's house was burgled last night." "I wasn't even here." "Do you think we're fools?" "We know you met the bandits with your fat cousin." "He sold you to them, didn't he?" "Did they fuck you well?" "Why did you leave your husband?" "CouIdn't he satisfy you?" "You can't keep me here." "will you take us both?" "One in the front and one in the back?" "She won't say." "She'II just do it." "Don't worry, we smell better than your bandits." "What are you doing standing there like a statue?" "Do something!" "What about the briefcase?" "Briefcase?" "Okay." "Okay, okay." "Let's go." "Put your thumbprint here." "Here's your girl, Devideen, hale and hearty." "Thank you, sir." "Touch the Thakur's feet." "They paid your ball of 25,000 rupees." "Look, what they've done to me." "Sergeant, what's this?" "Thakur, sahib, she swears like a filthy animal." "Are your other girls like this one?" "What happens to me?" "These Thakurs paid your ball." "Show your gratitude." "She can't go back to her village." "Strict orders from above." "Come with us." "A girl child is a curse." "She knew she was banned, yet she landed up here." "Where could I go?" "To the Thakurs?" "Don't you know what they wanted?" "They paid your ball." "To bed me?" "Are you my father or my pimp?" "You are shameless." "Not as shameless as they are!" "PhooIan!" "Come out!" "This is Babu Gujjar's gang." "We have come for PhooIan Devi." "Everybody else remain indoors." "Send your low caste daughter out." "What is it?" "Who are you?" "You come here." "Madho, get him." "Let him be." "You're PhooIan's brother?" " Where are you taking my son?" " Where have you hidden your girl?" "She's at her aunt's." "She was at the well an hour ago." "Vikram, go and check." " Why hit him?" " Because he's a Iow caste MaIIah, too." "The headman's son has paid me to do this job." "Get her." "Remember, she's my catch, you sisterfuckers, not yours." "It seems she's gone." "She can't be far." "PhooIan's brother?" "PhooIan, I've got your brother." "I'II cut off... his ears and nose." "I'm Babu Gujjar." "I keep my word." "I am here." "Let my brother go." "Long live Thakur." "Move!" "Move!" "Tarika, come on." "Madho, get her." " Where are you taking me?" " I'm not the leader." "will they kill me?" "What's going on?" "She can't walk." "Tarika, she can't walk." "Cut off her nose and ears and throw her into the river." "It's too much for her." "So she can't walk." " We should respect women." " Now you're a preacher?" "She's my catch, you sisterfuckers, and I'II do as I Iike." "Is she your sister?" "Come on, you whore!" "Now, see what I do with his sister." "They're here." "I don't trust that man." "So who'II get the ammunition?" "MaIIah dog, your father?" "If it's safe, why send two MaIIahs?" "Why not send Tarika?" "Because Tarika could fuck your mother." "shall I send her?" "It's the motherfucking police!" "Run, Tarika!" "So, did you tell Nathu's mother?" "I didn't need to." "She knew he'd die." "Like my mother knows and your mother knows." "Like his fucking mother knows." "Take it easy." "Who asked the fuckers to become bandits?" " You're alive to speak, bastard." " On my own fucking strength!" "The bastard's at it again!" "Gujjar!" "Nobody move!" "Low caste bastards!" "I said nobody move!" "Say, "Long live Vikram MaIIah!"" "Long live Vikram MaIIah!" "Long live Vikram MaIIah!" "Victory to the Goddess!" "She has taken Babu Gujjar." "Let's move." "This place is jinxed." "Madho, search the corpses, and give everything to the poor." "It's bad luck to spend such money." "No one touches this girl." "Give her Tarika's clothes." "villagers of Astha..." "I am Vikram MaIIah Mastana." "Greetings!" "We are not police nor Thakurs." "Don't be scared." "We are MaIIahs like you." "We have come to make an offering." "O Lord Shiva... and Goddess Bhavani... we swear to protect this village... as long as it protects us." "Bharat, make the offering for the prosperity of this village." "May the Goddess protect you." "For the village." "Come." "This man's a woman." "No, a man with long hair." "PhooIan Devi." "She's Goddess Durga, sent to protect your village." "hall, Goddess Durga!" "Take this gift from the Goddess." "Women are forbidden in gangs, Vikram." "They bring bad luck." "Forgive me, Baba, but bandits make their own luck." "I Iearned this from you." "Her father owes 25,000 rupees to Thakur GuIab Singh for her ball." "Then I have to return it with interest." "Give him the cash." "The poor Thakur must be upset." "Such matters are not discussed before women." "You go to sleep." "Vikram, you are a MaIIah... but like my son." "Don't do this." "Remember, the real boss of the gang is Thakur sriram, though he's in prison." "I know, Thakur Ghanshyam." "I can see hatred for Thakurs in your eyes." "That is not good." "I will not be able to stand by you." "So you bought me for 25,000." "It's good to know your worth." "If you were paying, why kidnap me?" "Babu Gujjar captured you, not me." "I don't buy people." "I win their respect." "Even women." "Now sleep." "Don't stare." "sleep." "Shoot me." "What if I'd killed you?" "It takes a Iot to kill a man." "You're not up to it." "Come on!" "I can't!" "Fuck!" "Run!" "The police!" "Run!" " Look under the seats." " A radio, Vikram." "We're police." "Come out." "I said police, motherfucker." "What's this, then?" "You had nothing, eh?" "police dogs, don't blame this on some innocent man." "This raid is by the gang of Vikram MaIIah and PhooIan Devi." "Vikram MaIIah and..." "Write:" "Vikram MaIIah and the beautiful bandit." "Get out." "He's laughing." "Out with him!" "LaIaRam, when will you be back?" "I hope you've enjoyed your stay, sriram." "It's been like a home away from home." "You brothers are our guests." "Make one move, and we'II invite you back." "Sign here." "sriram." "Greetings, sir." "A good day for you." "Cup of tea?" "With pleasure, sir." "I hear there's a woman in your gang now." "Fun, eh?" "But they say that a Vikram MaIIah is now the leader." "So it's the rule of the lower castes now, is it?" "The man hasn't been born who can take over my gang." "He's my puppet." "I taught him everything he knows." "I hear he's dangerous." "Rubbish." "He's a monkey." "He'II dance to my tune." "The Thakurs have come!" "Greetings, Thakur sahib." "Here is your rifle." "So, MaIIah, you've made quite a name for yourself." "A big gang... new guns, a woman, too." "By your grace." "A woman by my grace?" "Bharat, tea." "Looks like you only get sugarIess tea here." "If there's a woman, why a man to make tea?" "You mean her?" "Who else?" " She's just like us." " Just like me?" "Let's see her." "Come and sit here." "Don't be shy." "I used to dream of you in jail." "It's been a Iong time since I touched a woman." "I saw a crow on a dead cow." "It's bad luck." "Why didn't you slap sriram?" "If any bastard touches you, take your gun and shoot him." "Even your boss?" "So?" "Scared of Thakurs?" "I don't trust those sisterfucking Thakurs." "Where's your gun?" "Don't trust anyone, PhooIan." "Where's your gun?" "Stop them!" "Stay where you are!" "Who fired?" "Don't worry, the doctor will fix him." "Keep away!" "Stay where you are." " PhooIan, I'm finished." " Don't say it." "I'II kill you, sisterfucker!" "Bharat, Madho, collect money, all of it." "He'II have to go to a city doctor." "The bullet has grazed the bone, but I couId fix it." "He knows who we are." "How did I fuck?" "What did you do?" "I did all the work." " That's how men do it in the city." " really?" "It's silly." "Let's see you naked." "Just once." "You're filthy." " In the city, they do it naked." " I'II cry for help." "I'm PhooIan Devi!" "Vikram wants to fuck me!" " Who is it?" " The bullet doctor sent me." " What does he want?" " Cash." " We paid." " For the dressings." "Now he wants his fee." "His sister's getting married." "The bridegroom wants a scooter." "Six thousand." " Tomorrow." " Too late." "I'II have to fetch the cash." "I'II come with you." "I'II give the doctor his corn, not show him the field." "I'II be back in an hour." "She's caused enough trouble." "What's she back for?" "She's our daughter." "Where else would she go?" "To her husband." "That's where she belongs." "That's worse than jail." "Do you know what" "PhooIan, people recognize you here." "We'd better leave, or there'II be trouble." "No offense to you, Vikram, but a girl should live with her husband." "The same fucking shit!" "See how she speaks to her father?" "Vikram, have I said something wrong?" "She should go to..." "AII right, I'II go to my husband." "I'II do what you should have done long ago." "Let's go, Vikram." " Come out, PuttiIaI, you bastard!" " Don't beat me, please." "What do you want?" "I'm a poor man." "I have nothing." " Forgive me." " Forgive you?" "Write this to the police." "What?" "Any man that marries a little girl..." "I'II kill him." "I've never seen that side of you." "Where did you get the strength?" "I don't know." "I ache all over." "But I feel at peace, Iike after a pilgrimage." "That's good." "The gang will meet us here." " I'II go on the mound." " And me?" "You rest." "You've avenged your honor." "Now you're a real bandit, Iike the rest of us." "But remember... if you kill, kill at Ieast 20." " Why?" " kill one, and they'II hang you." "kill 20, and you're famous." "They'II beg you to surrender." "Even give you a pension." "Mastana." "Why did you become a bandit?" "Not for the name." "I heard... you were married." "I heard you were, too." "Marriage is like how my parents are." "What was I born of?" "An act of love or of violence?" "Show yourselves, you motherfuckers!" " Don't hit me." " What else are you fit for?" "Vikram was a fool to pamper you." "Draw water from the well." "I'm thirsty." "Now, go like this." "Go, or I'II smash you." "Look, this is the queen of the ravines!" "PhooIan Devi, they call her a goddess!" "This thing called me a motherfucker!" "This is what we do to low caste goddesses!" "KaiIash." "PhooIan." "Vikram..." "Shh." "Someone's coming." "You can have me, too." "Have you gone mad?" "You are PhooIan, PhooIan Devi." "Look at me." "I'm just a fat slob." "Yet the village salutes me." "Why?" "Because I'm your cousin." "will he help me?" "Nab Singh was Vikram's comrade." " I don't trust any man." " You trusted Vikram." "Baba, I've brought this woman without your permission." "She wants a favor." "I know of her." "She calls herself Devi." "Greetings, Baba." "She was Vikram's woman." "I warned Vikram that sriram and LaIaRam were police informers, but he wouldn't believe me, so he's dead." "Not just those brothers." "I have sworn to fight the whole Thakur clan." "Watch your tongue." "You're a woman, and of a Iow caste." "silence." "Bandits know no caste." "Those two called themselves bandits, too." "They raped me... stripped me and..." "I know." "I am sorry." "But now what?" "Your men are mostly muslims." "They do not yet believe in caste." "But soon the caste thing will turn the whole bandit kingdom upside-down." "This woman is trouble, Baba." "What does she want?" "She wants her own gang." "Let's see what support she has." "Who is with this woman?" "I am." "And I." "I'm with Man Singh." "Man Singh, you've always wanted your own gang." "You now have a partner." "Go ahead." "What can a woman do?" "And a share for my other gun?" "An extra gun always gets an extra share." "police uniforms." "Twenty-five." "And 16 guns." " How many don't work?" " Five." "Twenty-five men, sixteen guns, five duds... and you want to raid Jangamajpur." "There'II be at Ieast 50 policemen." "Even Mushtaquim wouldn't try this." "Vikram would." "people of Jangamajpur, listen carefully!" "This is the Man Singh and PhooIan gang." "The poor have nothing to fear." "Anyone who tries to stop us or close their shops will be shot." "Women and children, go in, do not be scared." "Open up!" "Out of here, motherfucker!" "The police!" "What?" "Run, PhooIan!" "The police are here!" "You want me, bastards?" "Here I am!" " What's your name?" " Damayanti." " What does your father do?" " He drinks." "Want to come with me?" "Keep this." "For your wedding." "Long live PhooIan Devi!" "Love live Baba Mushtaquim!" "Your name echoes throughout the land." "You are considered a terror." "With your blessings, Baba." "I have news." " There's only one thing I want to hear." " I know." "sriram and LaIaRam will be attending a wedding." " Where?" " Behmai." "Listen." "Don't do anything rash." "people of Behmai!" "We've come for sriram and LaIaRam." "We know they are here." "Surrender quietly." "Any resistance will be met with bullets." "Women and children need not fear." "We've come for sriram and LaIaRam." "Find them!" "Smash the doors." "Bring every man out." "Don't touch women and children." "They watched the fun while I was raped." "Sisterfucking Thakurs!" "You took my honor here." "Where is your leader?" "I don't know." "Where's he hiding?" " Don't know." " tell me!" "I swear I don't know!" "Where's your leader, sisterfucker?" "What prospect is there of catching PhooIan Devi and her gang?" "She's a woman, Iow caste." "We'II catch her sooner or later." "You journalists are giving her unnecessary publicity." "She didn't get sriram and LaIaRam." "She killed 24 innocent Thakurs." "I, too, have killed, but not for nothing." "The place is crawling with cops..." "like lice in a beggar's blanket." "Soon they'II set the army on us." "Each of those dead Thakurs will have some fucking relative in the government." "She'II die a horrible death." "Worms will feed on her corpse." "bloody bitch goddess." "We've surrendered." "Don't shoot!" "Where are the others?" "police attack... at river..." "all dead." "Speak clearly." "Run away." "Don't go near water." "Look at this." "You brought bullets?" "He says it's all over." "So he turns coward at the first sign of danger." " I've seen enough corpses." " Look carefully." "Bharat and Madho." "Shot them from this close." "Munna ran." "Shot him in the legs." "Then a bayonet through his throat." "Girdhari had one bullet." "Shot himself." "The police went to Ateek and sultan's village." "They were stripped naked and killed in front of their families." "The police say they will kill us all... unless you surrender." "They've poisoned the water." "KaiIash, have you got guns?" "I've got water." "KaiIash, you've come to help me, haven't you?" "KaiIash, wait." "My gang will come." "will you bring them?" "Hey, my baIdy!" "No one will come." "They're all dead." "I'II form a new gang or join another gang." "They will kill you... and me, too." "Why, you, my old baldy?" "I'm your cousin, that's why." "I am PhooIan Devi!" "Queen of these ravines." "I will stay here." "The ravines will hide me in their womb." "They cannot hide you now." "Come on out." "It's time to be reborn again." "Time to face the real world." " Dad wants you." " I've brought two buckets of water." "Come out, you whore!" "I can smell you, filthy bitch!" "You stink even worse." "I'II give you more pleasure than Vikram could." "We know you are rotting, you have no bullets." "The press makes you out to be some kind of a goddess." "But you're good for only one thing now." "You know what, don't you?" "Remember my rod?" "You must be longing for it." "Lots of people want you naked here, even more than Behmai." "Motherfucker!" "We killed Vikram." "Now Man Singh will die because of you." "Let's move on." "Get away!" "Don't come near me!" "Go and surrender!" "I'II tell Vikram you're a coward!" "He'II beat you!" "The goddess is angry with me." "There were bullets for everyone." "For Bharat, for Madho." "There are no bullets for me." "I want my mother." "I want my father." "My terms of surrender:" "Our families must be protected... and given land to live."
