The object of the writer is to convey information and to give as vivid a picture as possible of the strange state of the society. The author has in many instances given the confessions or depositions of the members of the Thug fraternity in their own language, instead of his personal narrative. This book gives the readers an insight into the characters and feelings of these murderers, as it is a first-hand account by them.
