The book The Thugs, Or Phansigars Of India: Comprising A History Of The Rise And Progress Of That Extraordinary Fraternity Of Assassins by W. H. Sleeman is a comprehensive account of the infamous criminal organization known as the Thugs or Phansigars in India.The author, who was a British colonial administrator in India during the 19th century, provides a detailed history of the Thugs, their origins, and their methods of operation. He also offers insights into the social and economic factors that led to the rise of this criminal fraternity.The book describes the Thugs as a highly organized and secretive group of assassins who roamed the Indian subcontinent for centuries, preying on unsuspecting travelers and merchants. The Thugs were known for their distinctive modus operandi, which involved luring their victims into a false sense of security before strangling them with a cloth or rope.Sleeman's account of the Thugs is based on his personal experiences and interactions with members of the organization. He also draws on the accounts of other British officials, as well as Indian informants who had firsthand knowledge of the Thugs.Overall, The Thugs, Or Phansigars Of India is a fascinating and informative read that sheds light on a dark chapter in India's history. The book provides a unique perspective on the Thugs and their criminal activities, and it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of crime and punishment in India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
