Puranay Thug

Dear Raza Ali Abidi Sahib,

I am a great admirer of your work. Having previously enjoyed "Jarnaili Sadak," I have recently finished reading "Puranay Thug."

The skill and expertise you developed during your time with BBC Urdu are clearly reflected in your writing, making this book a truly engaging read. Thank you for your continued contributions to literature.

Best regards,

Saad Mustafa

Abidi sahib has uncovered a unique topic in this research work. Many of his details clarified the misconceptions in this realm of hindustani thugs who claimed to have a family lineage in this profession. Besides the subject matter on thieves, the legal framework and the power structure of the British India has also been depicted

It is good expression of literature
