The book titled The Thugs, Or Phansigars Of India: Comprising A History Of The Rise And Progress Of That Extraordinary Fraternity Of Assassins is written by W. H. Sleeman. The book provides a detailed account of the notorious Thuggee cult, also known as Phansigars, which was a secret society of assassins that operated in India for centuries. The author traces the origin of the cult, its rituals, and the modus operandi of its members. He provides an in-depth analysis of the social and economic conditions that led to the rise of the Thuggee cult and the measures taken by the British government to eradicate it. The book is based on the author's personal experiences as a British administrator in India and his interactions with the Thugs. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Indian history and culture, and the darker aspects of human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
