It is a terribly hard life, romanticised Hindi films showing bum swinging Helen dancing to “Mehebooba- mehebooba…” notwithstanding. And to say it is dangerous is a euphemism. And yet, in such terrifying circumstances blooms love. Jagan Gurjar had a price of Rs 12 lakh on his head, and more than 70 heinous crimes to his name. The four-and-a-half feet Komesh herself had jumped into the ravines to avenge the murder of her father, Chhitariya Gurjar of Dhaulpur district, Rajasthan. Jagan could have easily found another woman, for "among the third generation of Chambal dacoits, who no longer follow the glorious code of honour of Daku Man Singh, it is now normal for dacoits to abduct women for pleasure”, says ex-MLA Parshuram Bhadauriya, founder of the NGO Lok Chetna Manch. And yet, Jagan Gurjar surrendered.

The code of honour was established by Daku Man Singh, and it forbade touching women. It also forbade women in the gang, but then, had people stuck to it, there would have been no Putli Bai, no lilting Alha Udhal – the ballads sung for Chambal heroes. Or should it be put the other way round? Putli Bai would not have become the legend she is had she not been a fabulous singer of Alha Udhal. Goharbano, the Muslim lady from a poor family, had become an artist (singing and dancing) to keep the hearth burning. It could not be long before she would come to the notice of Daku Sultana. “He started frequently calling her. Soon, they were in love, despite Putli Bai – her professional name – knowing the dangers ahead,” Prof PVS Tomar, sociologist and expert on Chambal bandits told TSI. Sultana was killed in a police encounter in 1950, after which Putli became the sardar of the gang, and a complete terror. It was natural that many in her gang would propose to the dainty damsel who could sing and kill cops with equal alacrity. But Putli remained loyal to the memories of Sultana and stayed single till she was herself killed in 1956.
