behen no m0re... I am your goddamn goddess

In her last five public speeches, Behen Mayawati of Bahujan Samaj asked her followers to begin paying cash with their tributes and support. She asked the bahujan samaj to not make offerings at temples, to deities they never see. Instead, she says, prople should make offerings to her, their living goddess. "Take some part out of your hard-earned mony and donate it to me," she exhorted people recently in Delhi.

She has realised that being a sister isn't rewarding enough. Being a goddess is. Besides one little dirty suffix makes that behen word the most frequently used abuse in north India.
