The Bandit Queen (M14)

India. An eleven year old lower caste girl is given in marriage to a grown man. The man abuses her. She runs away back to her family. The local high castes accuse her of seductive behavior, so she is kicked out of town. When she returns a bandit (hired by the local high castes) abducts her and constantly rapes her. The hero shoots and kills the bandit and starts a gang. But when the head of the bandits (a high caste) is released from prison he eventually shoots and kills the hero, who loves and is loved by the heroine and then the heroine is raped for three days. She eventually sets up a new gang. when given misinformation that her rapist will be at the town where her extensive rape took place, she goes to that town and she and her gang kill 24 men. The government cannot abide this. But they want her alive (low caste people vote too). so they kill all her gang except her and the other leader and eventually she gives up.
