I remember watching a movie about her many years ago. She's remarkable, but the story also made me very sad. she was horribly abused by men and the misogynistic and caste-centric system in India. This led her to rage, which caused her to kill. While I have no issue with her killing rapists, honestly, there were also innocent people who died and I can't condone that.

What your article didn't point out was that she was of a lower caste and that made her more vulnerable to high caste abuse.

Overall though your article was great. I really enjoyed it and am glad you gave recognition to a strong woman, though I don't agree with all of what she did.
