Just curious to know what term this translates to. Also, is their any "slang terms" (derogatory or not) that pertain to the word lesbian in Hindi? Need to know for research. Thank you.

Samlingi OR Samlaingik
Explanation:
Other variation could be "Samling Kamuk Stree"

There are no slang terms for this, possibly because of an almost absence of the phenomenon in Indian society (at least until now, if I'm not mistaken).
