Goddess of Smallpox and the Thuggee Religion
A critical look at the thugs of India, praising the brutality of the Thuggee cult and its murder for profit. The piece cites 1896 Punjab murders and rising Central Indian killings, notes tens of thousands vanished yearly, and recalls thug leaders like Shumsherah with blunt pricing for killings.
