Sketch of three standing men, of different ages

Watercolour by unknown early-19th-century artist of three Thugs strangling a traveller; one holds his feet, another his hands and a third tightens the ligature around his neck.

Thuggee or tuggee (Hindi:Nepali ठग्गी ṭhagī; Urdu:ٹھگ‎; Sanskrit:sthaga; Sindhi: ٺوڳي، ٺڳ‎; Kannada:ಠಕ್ಕ thakka) refers to the acts of Thugs, an organised gang of professional robbers and murderers. Thugs travelled in groups across South Asia for six hundred years. Although the Thugs traced their origin to seven Muslim tribes, Hindus appear to have been associated with them at an early period. They were first mentioned in Ẓiyā-ud-Dīn Baranī's History of Fīrūz Shāh, dated around 1356. During the 1830s, the Thugs were targeted for eradication by Governor-General of India, William Bentinck and his chief captain, William Henry Sleeman. Thugs were apparently destroyed by this effort.
