Thugy
Thuggee (UK: , US: ) is the name given to the alleged practice of thugs, who, supposedly, were historical organised cults of professional robbers and murderers in India. They were said to have travelled in groups across the Indian subcontinent.
They are purported to have murdered their victims by strangling using a bandana as a tool. The Thuggee were believed to practise their killings as a form of worship toward the goddess Kali. For centuries, the authorities of the Indian subcontinent, such as the Khalji dynasty, the Mughal Empire, and the British Raj, attempted to curtail the criminal activities of the Thuggee during their rule.
Contemporary scholarship is increasingly sceptical of the thuggee concept, and has questioned the existence of such a phenomenon, which has led many historians to describe thuggee as the invention of the British colonial regime.
