Excerpt from A Popular Account of the Thugs and Dacoits: The Hereditary Garotters and Gang-Robbers of India There is some reason to believe, that in later times the descendants of these Sagartii accompa nied one of the Mahommedan invaders of India, and settled in the neighbourhood of Delhi. In the latter part of the seventeenth century, Theve not makes mention of a strange denomination of robbers, who infested the road between that city and Agra, and used a certain rope, with a running noose, which they can cast with so much sleight about a man's neck, when they are within reach of him, that they never fail, so that they strangle him in a trice. These vagrant plun derers were divided into seven clans or families, called Bahleem, Bhyns, Bhursote, Kachunee, Hut tar, Ganoo, and Tandil, the parent stock of all the subsequent ramifications. According to tra dition, they were expelled from Delhi by one of the emperors of the house of Gouree, on account of the murder of a favourite slave. Their victim had long been aware of their practices, and had connived at them, for the sake of the handsome gratuities presented as the price of his silence. But, abusing his power, and making exorbitant demands, he' quickly experienced the fate of those in whose plunder he had so freely participated.

"A Popular Account of Thugs and Dacoits, the Hereditary Garrotters and Gang-Robbers of India," tells about the criminal India of Victorian times. Thugs were organized gangs of professional robbers and murderers in India, connected to the cult of Kali. Thugs were known to have operated as gangs of highway robbers, tricking and later strangling their victims. Dacoits is another criminal movement that possibly originated because of feudal exploitation as the cause that provoked many people of this region to take to arms. The book offers a reader a lot of interesting information about how those movements originated and acted in colonial India.

The volumes focus on select aspects of the British imperial archives: the accounts of discovery and exploration fauna and flora, geography, climate the people of the subcontinent, English domesticity and social life in the subcontinent, the wars and skirmishes including the Mutiny of 1857-58 and the civilisational mission. This volume documents how the practice of thuggee was viewed by the British before: as if it symbolized everything that was wrong with the social order in India. The texts collected here are accounts of how the British 'discovered' the subcontinent. The narrative of discovery, with the freshness of the 'new', was couched very often in the rhetoric of wonder. But this sense of wonder, even astonishment in some cases at the variety, magnitude and sheer difference of the land and its people, was tempered over time with a narrative of exploration.
