River of bandits, haunt of dacoit queens, she is fearless and wicked in her glory. She carves a path through high ridges, forming a honeycomb of ravines where wolves and hyenas roam. The howl of the jackal is her night song, the drill of sand miners her day accompaniment. The source of life in an arid landscape, she holds secrets that none dare to unearth. In the erratic monsoon, she is explosive, reaching far into the sandy soils and uprooting lives. In the dry season, she is a mere trickle, a shadow of her monsoonal glory.
She is a river that does not like to be tamed. Where she is trapped, she wriggles through the porous soil to feed her many tributaries, and eventually joins the mighty Yamuna. Her banks are the haunt of tigers, sloth bears, hyenas, wolves, jackals, blackbuck, chinkara, and her waters are home to gharial and mugger crocodiles. This is a river of mischievous intent. This is a river of ghostly laughter and grim tales. She is sensual in her winding path, in her palatial labyrinth of ravines.
Home to the famed Bandit Queen Phulan Devi, the Chambal is as spirited as the lady who once commandeered her banks. She flows northeast, originating in the Vindhyas of Madhya Pradesh and draining a vast section of that state and Rajasthan before joining the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh. But the Chambal is unlike the other rivers of the Indian extra-peninsula. Her channel cuts a unique path through some of the harshest terrain in the country and paints a bloody history across time.
Sand miners and bandits go toe-to-toe in the history of this rugged landscape. Both groups have eaten away at the peace of mind of local villagers. Mining was outlawed by the National Green Tribunal in 2006, but miners continue to flout the law, often with the support of corrupt government officials, primarily the local police. Carving a living out of the Chambal ravines, miners are the new bandits of this landscape, often silencing those who speak out against their actions. Villagers avoid sand miners too, fearing for their lives and their families. Forest Department officials patrolling the ravines often face aggressive encounters with miners and modern-day dacoits. Wildlife, it seems, must look after itself in this harsh ecosystem.

The tiger, of course, utilises the maze-like ravines when travelling from Ranthambhore to Kuno-Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary across the Chambal and Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary to the north. Both patches have source populations of tigers and the ravines hold the key to accessing either patch while avoiding human settlements. Leopards are known to traverse these ravines as well. These adaptable big cats have made themselves at home across nearly every habitat found in India today.
It is also a land where lawlessness is the driving principle. Where law fails to have a stronghold, the efforts of the Forest Department are futile. Here, along the banks of this bloodied river, conservation is more a lifestyle than an enforced habit. Feuds between different castes make it difficult for conservation stewards to operate in this region; our research was frowned upon by villagers, who had little trust in people who claimed to care about wildlife for a living. People here are used to a hard lifestyle, and while they coexist with wildlife, they also do not necessarily put aside time or energy for saving endangered species.
I crouch, looking at the stain of fresh urine on the soil. Slabs of sedimentary and metamorphic rock line the sides of this narrow gully, but a small patch of water underneath an Acacia tree draws wildlife. The urine is fresh; the stinging odour pervades my nostrils. Hyena, perhaps. A few minutes of searching yields a set of fresh pugmarks; yes, a hyena was here, barely half an hour ago. Here in the ravines, I am constantly aware of eyes watching me. The hair on the back of my neck is permanently raised. Yes, the Badlands hold many secrets, and I am here in hopes of uncovering them, one ghostly pawprint at a time.

The actress said in a statement, "Abhishek is a master at creating characters and has crafted iconic protagonists through his films (Ishqiya, Dedh Ishqiya and Udta Punjab). My look is a stroke of genius. It was his vision that created a character who exudes vulnerability and yet is strong, gritty and bold. Working with Abhishek and Sushant has been one of my most fulfilling creative collaborations." The dacoits of Madhya Pradesh are said to be a by-product of an oppressed system.
