== Background ==
Sampat Pal founded the Gulabi Gang to further the cause of women's rights.<ref name="jay">{{cite news |title=Sampat Pal Ousted from Gulabi Gang |work=The Times of India |date=4 March 2014 |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/Sampat-Pal-ousted-from-Gulabi-Gang/articleshow/31365684.cms}}</ref> It developed into an organised women's movement with as many as 270,000 members spread over several districts in Uttar Pradesh. The women wear [[Rose (color)|Gulabi]] (pink) [[sari]]s and arm themselves with bamboo sticks, which they use whenever they come up against violent resistance.<ref name="Guardian 2008">{{cite news|last=Prasad|first=Raekha|title=Banda sisters|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/feb/15/women.india|accessdate=20 July 2010|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|date=15 February 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/all-you-need-to-know-about-gulaabi-gang-s-sampat-pal/article1-1191985.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140308123433/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/all-you-need-to-know-about-gulaabi-gang-s-sampat-pal/article1-1191985.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 March 2014 |title=Sampat Pal: All you need to know about the Gulabi Gang leader |date=7 March 2014 |work=Hindustan Times |accessdate=2014-10-22}}</ref>

Pal described her early life in an autobiography written with the collaboration of the French journalist Anne Berthod.<ref>Berthod, Anne, ''Sampat Pal, Warrior in a Pink Sari: The Inside Story of the Gulabi Gang as Told to Anne Berthod'', Zubaan, 2012</ref> According to a BBC report, Banda district is a “highly caste-ridden, feudalistic and male dominated society. Dowry demands and domestic and sexual violence are common. Locals say it is not surprising that a women's vigilante group has sprung up in this landscape of poverty, discrimination and chauvinism“.<ref>{{cite news |first=Soutik |last=Biswas |title=India's "pink" vigilante women |work=BBC News |date=26 November 2007 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7068875.stm |accessdate=22 May 2018}}</ref>

On 2 March 2014, Pal was relieved of her role at the head of the Gulabi Gang amid allegations of financial impropriety and putting her personal interests ahead of those of the group.<ref name="jay"/>
