Often described merely as a colonial construction, the phenomenon
of thuggee remains one of the more contentious and controversial
subjects of nineteenth-century south Asian history. Based largely
on new material, this book constitutes the first in-depth
examination of thuggee as a type of banditry, emerging in a
specific socio-economic and geographic context. The British usually
described the thugs as fanatic assassins and Kali-worshippers, yet
Wagner argues that the history of thuggee need no longer be limited
to the study of its representation.
