Sampat Devi Pal, raised in India's notoriously corrupt Uttar Pradesh region, was married off around the age of thirteen, had her first child at fifteen, and is essentially illiterate. Yet she has risen to become the fierce and courageous founder and commander in chief of India's infamous Pink Gang, a 20,000-member women's vigilante group fighting for the rights of women in India. In narrating the riveting story of the Pink Gang's work on behalf of a young girl unlawfully imprisoned at the hands of an abusive politician, journalist Amana Fontanella-Khan explores the origins and tactics of a fiery sisterhood that has grown to twice the size of the Irish army. Merging courtroom drama, compelling personal history, and a triumphant portrait of grassroots organizing, Pink Sari Revolution offers a refreshing counter-narrative to stories of American intervention in the third world by highlighting the extraordinary work of women who are shaking things up within their own country.
