About The Book: Report on Budhuk Alias Bagree Decoits, and Other Gang Robbers by Hereditary Profession by William Henry Sleeman is a detailed account of organized hereditary criminal gangs in 19th-century India, particularly the Budhuks and Bagrees. Sleeman, a British colonial officer, documents their social structure, methods, and the cultural entrenchment of dacoity (banditry) as a profession. The report outlines investigative strategies, intelligence gathering, and administrative actions taken by the British government to suppress these groups. It reflects both Sleeman’s ethnographic observations and colonial policy objectives, offering a blend of criminology, anthropology, and imperial governance in tackling entrenched criminal networks.
