	Thug Behram Famous Serial Killers
		Thug Behram (or Buhram), of the cult in India known as the Thuggee cult, is deemed as the world’s most prolific serial killer.
		It was later said that Behram was merely present during the 931 murders as he was the leader of the Thuggee cult.
		Behram’s statements have never been verified and Thug never went to trial for any of the murders due to the fact of having turned King’s Evidence and agreed to inform on his companions.

		Thug Behram, a gang leader of the Indian Thuggee cult of assassins, has frequently been said to be the world's most prolific serial killer.
		According to numerous sources, he was believed to have murdered 931 victims by strangulation by means of a ceremonial cloth (or rumal, which in Hindi means handkerchief), used by his cult between 1790 and 1830, thus holding the record for the most murders directly committed by a single person in history.
		In total, the Thugs as a whole were responsible for approximately 2 million deaths according to Guinness.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Thug Behram
		The original source for Behram's 'confession' is a manuscript on Thuggee written by James Paton, an East India Company officer working for the Thuggee and Dacoity Office in the 1830s.
		In addition, Behram's statement is unverified and Thug never stood trial for any of the murders he confessed to, having turned King's Evidence and agreed to inform on his companions.
		Since Behram's alleged murders were committed in the course of a 40-year career, and since it was in Thug informers' interests to make themselves appear as important as possible to their British captors, it is not certain whether any specific total number of killings can be attributed to this one murderer.

		The approximately 4,500 Thugs at work in the early 19th C. would then be responsible for 450,000 murders all told.
		With each generation of Thugs having a productive life of about 33 years (ages 17-50), that means that each century would see 3 generations (1,350,000 murders/century).

	Re: Censorship of Students' Union Magazines/Newspapers
		Can we add 2 's in the swear words in one of the articles and in the Fact Injection page can we change the words "Behram, an Indian thug, holds holds the record for most murders by a singe individual." to "Behram**, from India" etc.
		Plus it's hard to get the students to rally to support you on an issue like this if they don't know the union exists, which the first issue would help change.
		I therefore suggested a compromise - 1 * in the swearing and a change to "Behram, a thug from India".

		You remember that Busybee, Behram Contractor, was another pukka Bombayite, a lover of all that is good in the city especially its food.
		And so I found a little piece he did just a short while before he died, a typically Busybee gentle protest, this one written when Pramod Navalkar (a minister in the then-new Shiv Sena government) swept up all the bhelpuriwallas and confined them to a corner of Chowpatty.

		It's interesting to note that probably the most prolific "spiritual" serial killer is said to be Behram, who murdered at least 931 people by strangulation from 1790-1840.
		He was a member of the Thuggee cult (where our word "thug" originates) who worshipped Kali, and murder by strangulation was apparently how they showed their devotion to her.
		The bad guys in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom were based (probably pretty loosely) on the thuggee cult of Kali.
