Daku Man Singh Rathore was popularly known as "Man Singh". Singh lived in the village of Khera Rathore in the Chambal region of India, where a maze of deep ravines and scrub forests had hidden generations of outlaws since the 13th century.[1] Between 1939 and 1955, Singh is credited with 1,112 robberies and 185 murders, including the killing of 32 police officers. Man Singh headed a gang of 17, most of them his sons, brother Nabab Singh, and nephews, who were unchallenged in the Chambal Valley. The police registered over a hundred cases against him, ranging from kidnapping to murder, until he and his son, Subedar Singh, were shot dead by Gurkha troops in 1955 while sitting under a banyan tree in Kakekapura. .[2] or Bhind, Madhya Pradesh.[3] This operation was headed by inspector Vinod Chand Chaturvedi S.N. Subba Rao heard Singh speak on stage in 1953 at a public function in Chambal: “I was surprised to hear him speak. He was totally unlike what I had read about him in the papers. Though at the peak of his popularity or notoriety, he was respectful and humble. I was impressed with the contradiction he presented. The government wanted him dead with a big inam (reward) on his head and here he was, standing before the adoring public."[4] A Robin Hood figure who once performed essential social services in hard times and adjudicated local issues, today Singh has a temple in his honor in Khera Rathore. According to Dipankar, a Chambal resident who said that he regularly came to worship at the Man Singh temple, "they were men who fought for the family honour. They are bagis [or rebels]. There is no difference between a bagi and a sadhu".[3]
