Mafia Queens of India brings them back to the center.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe journey begins with a woman known only as “Cleopatra.”. Once a trusted figure in Varadarajan Mudaliar’s empire, she lives in obscurity but still carries an aura of authority. Her guarded story unlocks a box of others: a gambling queen who carved her own dominion out of numbers, a drug trafficker who used the most ordinary disguises to fool the police, and a madam from Delhi’s G.B. Road who ran her brothel district with utter ruthlessness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach tale shows how audacity could be wielded just as effectively by women as by the men who overshadowed them. We travel to the ravines of Chambal where a bandit seeks revenge against those who’d wronged her. In another part of the country, a ponzi scheme dressed in the garb of religion, derails the lives of millions. In colonial Amritsar, a family is hunted by British troops and a woman’s revenge threatens to bring down an empire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTold with the pace of a thriller and the intimacy of eyewitness reporting, Mafia Queens of India is a portrait of women who broke the rules, rewrote them, and sometimes paid the ultimate price. The myriad tales in these pages are a grim reminder that, in the dark shadows of the mafia, the most dangerous figures are not always the ones you expect to be.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eThese are women who ruled rackets, outsmarted dons, and bent entire systems to their will.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48329552462074,"sku":"WQSZV9O7K1CR","price":362.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/WQSZV9O7K1CR-1.jpg?v=1763286452","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/wqszv9o7k1cr","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
