Thug: The True Story of India's Murderous Cult by Mike Dash

Thug: The True Story of India's Murderous Cult by Mike Dash

For centuries, travellers on Indian roads simply disappeared. They had been befriended, walked with for days, and strangled at a signal by men who considered it a sacred profession.

Mike Dash reconstructs the Thugs from confession records and colonial archives — their rituals and slang, the scale of the killing, and the obsessive campaign by William Sleeman that broke them and gave English the word thug.

Rigorous history that reads like a thriller, and a sharp look at how colonial power described the people it policed.
