About the Subject and the Book
More than a hundred Thug gangs prowled India�s highways and
annually killed about 40,000 travellers in the early 19th century.
The Thugs were held together by a perversion of religion that made killing a
part of worship. The gangs were knit together by a strange and bizarre regimen
of life, that destroyed their victims with a combination of guile and cruelty
almost unparalleled in the history of crime anywhere in the world. The Thugs had
been plying their trade undetected for nearly 500 years.
Major General Sir William Henry Sleeman was a man of zeal and
spirit far above the ordinary and his extraordinary tenacity of purpose was in
the final analysis the reason, why Thuggee could be eliminated. The legal
procedures of the time also helped a lot as they permitted quick and effective
trials and deterrent punishment to Thugs.
