DACOITS OF CHAMBAL

  DACOITS OF CHAMBAL  The Ravines of Chambal once upon a time was famous for Notorious Dacoits. Expanding over an area of 8ooo square miles, the Chambal valley stretches across the three Indian States of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), Madhya Pradesh (M.P.) and Rajasthan. At an 80km drive from Agra, the land is full of deep ravines and forests, which have been the home to generations of outlaws for decades. The two districts of Bhind and Morena were known for their rugged terrain and the highly inflammable nature of the people. In Chambal valley dacoity was directly linked to ravine formation as there were no employment opportunities, and not much land to cultivate. The 20 to 50 feet deep ravines provide good hideout to the dacoits. When there was oppression people could not control the anger and became rebellious.

Al-Tabari also excludes from the fifteen several other women with whom Muhammad had some kind of marriage contract but who, due to legal technicalities, never became full wives. It is fairly certain, however, that none of these unions was ever consummated. They were th...
