Politician

The Resume

    (August 10, 1963-July 25, 2001)
    Born in Gohra Ka Puwra, India
    Bandit turned member of the Indian Parliament
    Ordered the Behmai massacre (February 14 1981)
    Known as the 'Bandit Queen'

Why she might be annoying:

    As a child, she taunted her cousin to the point of getting him so angry, he hit her in the head with a brick.
    She was kidnapped by a gang of bandits and eventually became one of their members.
    Before running off with them, the men ransacked her village while she stabbed her husband to death.
    She was raped by many men while she was locked up in the village of Behmai.
    Returning to the city, she ordered all the men of the village to line up and had 22 men preparing for a wedding shot by her gang.
    She spent 11 years in prison for the murders she ordered.
    She was forced to end her political career because she abused power.
    Most of the men killed in Behmai had nothing to do with her kidnapping or rape.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Amazingly, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize despite her bloody past.
    She was married off to a man in his thirties when she was 11.
    She was shot and killed by three men outside her home in New Dehli.
    Some consider her to be a champion of the poor.
