Confessions of a thug unravels a disturbing narrative rooted in the historical backdrop of organized violence in colonial India. Told through the recollections of a man shaped by secrecy, fear, and ritualized brutality, the novel examines the psychological evolution of one who embraces murder as a sacred duty. The account begins with reflections on early life shaped by trauma and abandonment, with the protagonist drawn into a hidden world where deception, loyalty, and death form a rigid moral code. The early depiction of loss and displacement offers insight into the emotional vulnerability that prepares the way for indoctrination. As the narrator describes his initiation into the violent practices of a cult devoted to subversive beliefs, the story builds a portrait of inner conflict beneath external devotion. The narrative structure allows for an unsettling intimacy, as the reader becomes a silent listener to personal rationalizations of horrific acts. Tension is sustained through the gradual revelation of the social systems and hierarchies that enabled such cruelty, framed by the colonial perspective of moral scrutiny. This fusion of confession, critique, and cultural exposure yields a layered and chilling portrait of ideological extremism under the guise of faith and tradition.
