THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

In the villages of central India people will sing folk songs for years about the exploits of a willowy dancing girl who became a dacoit and terrorised the countryside with murder and robbery.  Her cruelty and ruthlessness will be forgotten, but what will be remembered is the fearless courage of this woman, who endured much and suffered much but lived her own life as the leader of a desperate band of outlaws.  She was the queen of the bandits.  No-one will be able to take her place.
