Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of the History and Practices of the Thugs: And Notices of Some of the Proceedings of the Government of India, for the Suppression of the Crime of Thuggee The existence of large bodies of men having no other means of subsistence than those afforded by plunder, is, in all countries, too common to excite surprise; and, unhappily, organized bands of assas sins are not peculiar to India! The associations of murderers known by the name of Thugs present, however, so many remarkable points of character and manners, that curiosity may reasonably be ex cited to inquire into the history, and ascertain the feelings, opinions, and motives of persons differing, in many respects, so Widely even from all other followers of their own horrible occupation.

Download or read book Thuggee written by K. Wagner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-07-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based largely on new material, this book examines 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.
Download or read book Thugs and Dacoits written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Detecting the Nation written by Caroline Reitz and published by Ohio State University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Detecting the Nation, Reitz argues that detective fiction was essential both to public acceptance of the newly organized police force in early Victorian Britain and to acclimating the population to the larger venture of the British Empire. In doing so, Reitz challenges literary-historical assumptions that detective fiction is a minor domestic genre that reinforces a distinction between metropolitan center and imperial periphery. Rather, Reitz argues, nineteenth-century detective fiction helped transform the concept of an island kingdom to that of a sprawling empire; detective fiction placed imperialism at the center of English identity by recasting what had been the suspiciously un-English figure of the turn-of-the-century detective as the very embodiment of both English principles and imperial authority. She supports this claim through reading such masters of the genre as Godwin, Dickens, Collins, and Doyle in relation to narratives of crime and empire such as James Mill's History of British India, narratives about Thuggee, and selected writings of Kipling and Buchan. Detective fiction and writings more specifically related to the imperial project, such as political tracts and adventure stories, were inextricably interrelated during this time.
