Arundhati Roy's scathing review


http://www.sawnet.org/books/writing/roy_bq1.html

Which complaints about historical accuracy are most and least valid?

To start off with, I appreciate Roy's point that Phoolan's first act of rebellion came before her marriage, when she objected to the illegal seizing of her father's property. She was actually married off because she was an obstreperous child.
