Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the chilling world of the Thuggee cult in 19th-century India, specifically focusing on a lesser-known branch known as the Megpunnas. These criminals preyed on vulnerable families during times of famine and hardship, murdering parents and abducting their children for profit. The author, a seasoned official with extensive experience in India, exposes the shocking extent of this practice and its complex web of operations, from the methods used to lure victims to the sale of children to unsuspecting buyers. Set against the backdrop of colonial India, the book sheds light on the challenges faced by authorities in suppressing this heinous system, highlighting issues of corruption, social stigma, and the difficulty of tracing missing children. The author also delves into the religious justifications employed by the Megpunnas, exposing the dark underbelly of a society grappling with poverty and desperation. The thematic depth of this work lies in its exploration of human vulnerability, the exploitation of the marginalized, and the intricate relationship between crime and religious belief. The author's insights into the Thuggee cult, particularly the Megpunna branch, offer a stark reminder of the capacity for human cruelty and the enduring quest for justice in the face of unimaginable evil. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
