More about the book

Focusing on the socio-economic and geographic context of thuggee, this book presents a fresh perspective on the phenomenon, challenging traditional views that depict thugs merely as fanatic assassins and worshippers of Kali. By utilizing new material, the author, Wagner, expands the historical narrative beyond these representations, offering a more nuanced understanding of thuggee as a form of banditry rooted in specific circumstances.
