Devi was 4'10"

 

At the spot where Devi was shot and killed,there has been a statue of Buddha placed there

 

The film based on Devi's life ("Bandit Queen") was banned from India due-to it's excessive nudity and explicit rape scenes,but in the United States,the film was considered for an Academy Award

 

Before Devi became the leader of her own gang,she ran with a smaller gang and participated in small petty thefts

 

Devi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize,due-to her contributions in the India Parliment

 

After Devi's final arrest,India toy makers made a doll after her,in which the doll had bullets strapped across her chest and a red bandana(which was what Devi wore)-the toy was one of India's best sellers

 

The day of the Behmai massacre,Devi and her gang entered the town dressed as police officers

 

The first time Devi ever went to prison was in 1979,when she was fighting with her cousin(Maiyadin) over her father's land;her cousin had her arrested,stating she had burglarised his home.She spent one month in prison where she was brutally raped and beaten by guards.

Devi,even up until the day she died,denied ever killing anyone at Behmai

In 1995,Devi converted to Buddism

 

Devi was against the making of the film "Bandit Queen".She even took the makers of the film to court,but she settled outside of court where the deal became 40,000pds to make the film-the film makers agreed

 

When Devi was taken prisoner by the Ram brothers,she was tortured for 23 days straight,until she escaped

 

When Devi and her gang surrendered,they refused to surrender to the U.P. police,but instead to the Madhya Pradesh Police(whom are religious police,working under the name of God)

 

Devi was illiterate

 

Devi's birthplace is so small of a town that it isn't even on the map of India
