Don't let their pretty pink saris fool you the Gulabi Gang, or Pink Gang, are a bunch of women who mean business.Led by the feisty Sampat Pal Devi, they spend their time righting the many wrongs done to women in Uttar Pradesh, India.It's a poverty-stricken area, dominated by an adherence to the traditional Hindu caste system.Most of the gang are from the lowest caste, the Untouchables, who have been abused and beaten as a result of the hand that fate dealt them.But they've found a friend and rescuer in Sampat, who is famous throughout India as a crusader for justice.A sympathetic agony-aunt who uses her pink sari to mop up tears, she's followed by the cameras as she dispenses help and advice to the unfortunate.“If you're shy then you'll die,” she advises a young pregnant Untouchable girl who's been abandoned by her higher-caste boyfriend.Sampat advises the girl to threaten to hang herself outside his door if he doesn't come back. Perhaps not the traditional approach to relationship counselling, but it seems to work.The documentary then follows Sampat as she confronts police who have arrested the boy and manages to get him released. She then puts his father who caused the rift between the couple in the first place firmly in his place.I was in fits of laughter as she mocked his claims of supernatural power, made to frighten her off.“Turn me into dust,” she taunts, going on to explain she has no time for religious preaching because “there is no higher power than woman”.She generally takes on wrongdoers with a wagging finger and a sharp tongue, but is unafraid of getting into a punch up; proclaiming that she once beat up a cop.As the film documents Sampat's efforts to rescue, counsel and defend women who have been rejected, beaten and even raped by their families, it is impossible not to admire her.What makes her efforts all the more incredible is that she is not a wealthy or privileged woman herself. She is from a lower caste family and has suffered many tribulations while living a bravely unorthodox lifestyle.And as the documentary shows during this intimate portrait, her wisdom and toughness do not make her immune from heartbreak of her own.I would heartily recommend this heart-warming and insightful documentary, which is surprisingly humorous and upbeat despite the dark subject matter.Tickets are available at www.bdatix.bm, All Wrapped Up Home-Washington Mall, The Money Shop on Dundonald Street and Fabulous Fashions at Heron Bay Plaza.
