Worshipping

Muslims never worshipped to Mother Kali, as written in the literature is wrong. Nabeel mintoee (talk) 09:26, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I understood that Kali was more of a patron saint of this profession, for both Muslims and Hindus. Please do not change it unless you have scholarly sources to back up your claim. Andries (talk) 06:23, 27 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Article could do with some consistent capitalization

edit

There's currently inconsistent capitalization of Thuggee/Thug throughout. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.144.130.207 (talk) 00:14, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

No mention of Thug Behram?

edit

Seeing as this thug member has his own article, I think he should be mentioned here. Adding link in "See also".Transmogriff (talk) 15:46, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

lead section

Shouldn't the lead at least mention the part in the dispute section that essentially goes "modern scholars think this might not even be real"? 80% of this articles seems to take victorian colonial sources at face value. --jonas (talk) 16:00, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

I don't get it either. Was all of India illiterate during this time period? You would think Indian citizens and scholars would at some point write at length about the absurd and extreme things they describe. 76.124.145.165 (talk) 22:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
