The Strangled Traveler by Martine Van Woerkens
British colonists in 1830's India lived in terror of the thugs. Reputed to be brutal criminals, the Thugs supposedly strangled and robbed thousands of travellers in the name of the goddess, Kali. Did the Thugs really exist? Or were they yet more colonial imaginings?
