Superb

I read this book when i was in school and from that time Harkisan mehta is my favorite gujarati author. i love all his books but this is my absolute favorite (kind of tie between this and manas name gunegar ). the way of writing , the emotions and suspense all of it make this book a masterpiece. I loved the character of aamir ali .

Amazing thriller. Gives a fair idea about the 'Thag' community and its looting style that prevailed in India during British rule.

ફીલિપ મેડોઝ ટેલરની નવલકથા 'Confessions of a Thug'માં આલેખાયેલા કિસ્સાઓ પર આધારિત એક drama novel. 18-19મી સદીમાં ભારતમાં ઠગથી લોકો ખૂબ ડરતા. જેમાં એક સૌથી ખતરનાક ઠગ હતો અમીરઅલી. ઠગી શરૂ કરી અને પકડાયો તે દરમિયાન તેણે લગભગ 600-800 murders કરી નાંખ્યા હતા. તેણે પકડાઈ ગયા પછી confess કર્યું હતું કે જો પોતે policeનાં હાથે પકડાયો ના હોત તો એણે કુલ્લે 1000+ murders કર્યા હોત. આ ઠગની જીંદગી વાંચવાની મજા પડશે!

તા.ક. અંગ્રેજી ભાષામાં 'Thug/Thug Life' જેવા phrasesમાં વપરાતો Thug શબ્દ એટલે ભારતનાં આ ઠગ!

Read this book when I was probably 16-16 years old. I will never ever forget the thug Amir Ali , his capture at the end and everything in between! If you are Gujarat sahitya lover., this book and and books , poems written by Zaverchand Meghani is a must.
