| book description |

Confessions of a Thug, a fictionalized ethnography, explores the thuggery system prevalent in nineteenth-century British India. The novel is significant for popularizing the Hindi-Urdu word ‘thug’ in the British and English languages. Centered around Ameer Ali, an anti-hero protagonist, the work delves into the lives of thugs and their criminal activities. It also sheds light on denotified tribes, where banditry had been a traditional occupation for generations.
