In the Chambal and Vindhya regions of India, names associated with infamous dacoits such as Gabbar, Phoolan Devi, and Dadua persist, not due to fan following, but as a regional naming tradition. Inhabitants can still be found with names like Phoolan Devi, Malkhan Singh, and Paan Singh Tomar in the Chambal region, while in the Vindhya region, the name Dadua resonates, with approximately 300 voters bearing this infamous title. These namesakes are found mainly in the areas where these outlaws once held power.
