I found the best news story ever on feministing & the BBC

They wear pink saris and go after corrupt officials and boorish men with sticks and axes. The several hundred vigilante women of India's northern Uttar Pradesh state's Banda area proudly call themselves the "gulabi gang" (pink gang), striking fear in the hearts of wrongdoers andearning the grudging respect of officials.

They dress up & fight crime! They're like superheroes!

I'm so proud of the Motherland right now. Makes up a little for the sad stories I hear about men dousing their daughter-in-laws with acid because the dowry wasn't big enough...
