One day in February 1981, a fierce burst of gunfire and screams suddenly came from a village in Uttar Pradesh, India, only to see 22 high-caste men fall to the ground one by one in a rain of bullets and bullets, stopping breathing after a painful struggle.
In the midst of the wreckage, a little Indian girl under the age of 18 stood in a pool of blood with a gun in her hands, her hands stained with blood, not the blood she had been injured, but because she had killed someone.
No one would have imagined that the deaths of the 22 men in front of them were caused by a girl who was not yet an adult. So who is this little girl? And what caused this girl to kill so many people?
The little girl, Named Pran Devi, was the mastermind of the massacre, which she ordered to be slaughtered by high-caste Men in India, and she herself was born into a low-caste Indian family.
In India, the class division of people's identity is very strict, in India, there is a clear distinction between three, six, and nine, and the highest of the four surnames is Brahmin, the lowest is Shudra, and the lower than Shudra is some of the lowly surnames that are not listed among the four major castes.
In India, a person's surname will always accompany his descendants, so some people can only be inferior for a lifetime, and Puran Devi is a small surname belonging to the Sudra caste.
Although she grew up poor, her father not only owned an acre of land, but also a chestnut tree.
According to Pran Devi, the tree in her house was so huge that two people could not hold it hand in hand. The wood for the chestnut tree is expensive, so the main source of income for the Pran Devi family is this chestnut tree.
Originally, Pran Devi thought that he and his family could always rely on the chestnut trees in the field to maintain a barely enough to provide for themselves, but they did not think that when Plan Devi was ten years old, the old patriarch of the family died, and Puran Devi's cousin Mayadin became the new patriarch.
Soon after becoming patriarch, Mayadin set his sights on the chestnut tree of Theplan Devi's family, and he used his power to cut down and sell the chestnut tree, after which Mayadin stole all the income. Without a tree, The Pran Devi family began a life of starvation.
Pran Devi's father was a cowardly man who was afraid of the soft and the hard, and he did not dare to confront his nephew, who was the patriarch, so he chose to swallow his grievances.
It is said that "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", and ten-year-old Puran Devi is angry, often bumping into Mayadin in the face, and pointing at his nose and calling him a faceless thief.
Mayadin is not so good at bullying, and when he hears Puran Devi's insults, he throws a brick at Puran Devi to warn her. In order to get revenge on Puran Devi, Mayadin found a family affair for his cousin and promised her to an old man hundreds of miles away to fill in the house.
Pran Devi was only eleven years old, and the man who was about to become her husband was already over thirty. The most surprising thing is that Puran Devi's parents accepted the marriage arranged for their daughter by the clan without complaint.
It turned out that Pulan Devi's family could no longer afford to raise Puran Devi, and after Puran Devi got married, there would be one less person in the family, which meant eating with one less mouth.
Prom Devi's husband is a hot-tempered man, and his wife is not a good personality, Pron Devi was treated like a slave after marrying, she had endless housework every day, and she was beaten by others from time to time.
After some time, Pran Devi could no longer bear the abuse and ran back to her mother's house, but when she was overjoyed to see her parents, she was greeted not by the joy of family reunion but by the merciless scolding of her parents.
In the Indian tradition, a wife could not abandon her husband, and Pran Devi's approach was undoubtedly contrary to the moral code of the time, so Pran Devi's parents were extremely ashamed of their daughter's behavior, and Puran Devi's mother even made Puran Devi commit suicide by jumping into a well in a commanding tone.
Looking at the indifferent attitude of his family and the pointing of outsiders, Pran Devi knew that he had become a guilty person in the rest of the population. But knowing that he was only coming back to visit his parents, Pran Devi did not know why he was treated like this.
Faced with the scolding of her family, Puran Devi had no choice but to refute it, because she did not want to return to the place where she had stayed. After returning home, she still did not forget who had caused her to fall here.
Pron Devi took her cousin to court for illegally occupying her personal land, but her cousin actually bit back and said that Puran Devi had stolen his family's belongings. In the end, Puran Devi not only failed to get back what belonged to him, but also went to jail, while her cousin was unharmed.
Puran Devi was put in a prison full of insects and rats, and in the absence of evidence of Puran Devi's theft, Puran Devi was imprisoned for three days. During those three days she spent the darkest time of her life ever.
Pran Devi was constantly beaten inhumanely by others, and the most unbearable thing was that she was raped by others to exalt humanity, and these three days became a memory that she will never forget for a lifetime.
After experiencing both physical and psychological harm, she began to see men who hurt women at will as her greatest enemy.
When she was released, she found that everyone began to avoid her, as if she had some kind of harmful infectious disease on her. Puran Devi, who had been betrayed by many people, had no choice but to leave her hometown and start a life of displacement, when she was only sixteen years old.
A year later, a group of bandits found Puran Devi and tied him up, the boss of this group of bandits named Babu, who is a higher than Puran Devi of the Takul caste, which is considered to be the high caste of India.
The second eldest of the bandits, Vikram, is a Mara caste of the same social status as Pran Devi. When Bab saw the young and beautiful Puran Devi, he wanted to make her his own woman, but Puran Devi was very resistant.
Babu, like other Indian men, took coercive measures against Puran Devi by tearing off Puran Devi's clothes in front of everyone and beginning his rape.
Vikram is a man whose conscience has not yet been extinguished, and he is very sympathetic to the plight of Pran Devi. One night, after seeing Babu rape Pran Devi again, Vikram couldn't bear to kill Babu and take over the gang.
Pran Devi and Viklam spent their days and nights together, and Pran Devi married Vikram and became his second wife. The married life of the two is very loving, and Vikram not only teaches Puran Devi how to use a gun, but also often takes Pulan Devi to see the sunrise and cares about Puran Devi's life.
Pran Devi says Vikram has given her a new lease of life and hope for her future life. She said Vikram was the love of her life, not one of them.
After Pran Devi became part of the gang, she brought people to the village where she had abused her ex-husband before. Pran Devi not only ransacked the village but also injured her ex-husband and left him on the side of the road. When passers-by went up to check it out, they found a note that said it prohibited the old man from marrying a young wife.
When Pran Devi thought that fate was finally beginning to take care of him, a man named Sri Ram shattered Prom Devi's vision of a better life. Sri Ram is a member of the gang and, like the previous Bab, is a high-caste Takur.
Sri Ram had previously been imprisoned for crime, and because his status was one level higher than Vikram's, it was natural to pull Vikram off his horse after he was released from prison and re-see the sun, becoming the new gang boss, while Vikram returned to his former position as the second oldest.
After meeting Puran Devi, Sri Ram committed various acts of harassment to her, and he paid no attention to Pran Devi's relationship with Viklam, who asked Seri Ram to apologize to his wife when he found out.
The two have a disagreement over Theawi affair, which makes Viklam even more unaccustomed to the new boss, and after each time the gang ransacks the village, Sri Ram has to beat and insult the villagers in the village who are also of the lower caste.
Sriram's behavior not only disgusted Vikram alone, but also disgusted the other brothers in the gang. Many of the brothers left the gang because they couldn't stand Seri Ram's behavior.
Sriram disagreed, and invited other people of the same Takul caste as him to join his gang, which made Sriram's behavior even more unscrupulous.
Vicram was reluctant to work under Sriram anymore, so he proposed to Sriram the idea of "separating the family", but Sriram refused without hesitation.
After rejecting Viklam's request, Sriram immediately began to pull along with fellow Takurgao people to discuss how to kill Vikram and Pran Devi. After Vikram's death, Pran Devi was tied up by them to the village of Bemai.
The kidnapped Puran Devi was gang-raped by the village men, and Puran Devi once again experienced countless beatings, insults and insults. It wasn't until three weeks later that she was finally rescued.
After Successfully escaping with the help of two friends of Vikram and a low-caste villager, Puran Devi began to rely on the strength of others and established her own gang after regaining her freedom.
The Mara gangs, founded by Pran Devi, while still engaged in robbery violations, targeted the bullying of the high castes, and often distributed their looted goods to the poor, low-castes. Pran Devi's act of robbing the rich and helping the poor made her the savior of the poor.
One day in February 1981, she came to the village of Bemea again, and she was filled with hatred for the men who had raped her at that time, especially the high caste men, because they would always treat the low caste people as if they were trampling on them.
Driven by hatred, Pran Devi ordered his men to arrest all the men of the high caste in the village, and 22 men died. This incident is known as the Bemy Massacre.
The massacre of high-caste men by low-caste Puran Devi soon attracted the attention of the government, which immediately sent a large number of police to arrest Puran Devi.
Under the protection of the villagers, Pran Devi managed to evade the police arrest until two years after the crime, when the government abandoned her arrest and negotiated surrender. At this time, Pran Devi's body was getting worse every day, and her own partners left her one by one.
In February 1983, Pran Devi agreed to lay down her arms and surrender, but she made the terms of her surrender to the government. Pran Devi said he could not be sentenced to death if he surrendered voluntarily, as did his partner. At the same time, she must be kind to her family, the family must have a piece of land, and the only brother must enter the government.
Pran Devi had a different view of her capitulation, saying that she had not surrendered to the government, but had laid down her arms to the gods of India.
After the surrender, Puran Devi was imprisoned, and due to the pressure of public opinion, Puran Devi was released after only 11 years of imprisonment, while her gang members were imprisoned for 8 years.
After her release from prison, Pran Devi became a people's representative with the support of the people, and instead of continuing her career as a bandit, she became a politician who began to focus on helping the poor lower castes improve their social status.
She was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to the people of society, and after her release from prison in 1994, she thought her life would be bright, but on July 25, 2001, Puran Devi was killed by a high-caste man at the age of 37.
