CRIMINALS IN INDIA
WHOLE TRIBES WHOSE HEREDITARY
PROFESSION IS THEFT
Robber Born mil Kept So by Cant
Tliey Are Iollte and Moilent Until
the Profession Rciiuircn Them to
Become Cruel and Ferocionx
India jj usually spoken of as a lane
where life and property have become
safe under British rule True tho
bands of thugs have been broken up
the PIndharee hordes have been sup
pressed and the British police system
Is spread over the whole country but
the criminal tribes or castes those
whose hereditary profession is rob
bery and nothing else remain theli
Instincts strong wanting only opportu
nity to practice their traditional call
lug which the Indian caste system for
bids them to abandon
These tribes are most numerous and
most wayward In the united provinces
in which are Cawnpur and Luckuow
the cities associated forever with the
Indian mutiny
Half of the division is Oudb the na
tive province last annexed by Britain
many of whose old men vividly re
member when every talookdar or
feudal chief lived In a fortified castle
and retained a swarm of armed men
who received no pay but lived on the
country They were official robbers
and their example gave free scope to
the professional robbers or as they
have always been known in India the
criminal tribes
These tribes are the Sauauriahs the
Banvars the Sansiahs the Doms the
Haburahs the Aherlahs the Banrlahs
the Bhatus Each tribe has its own
dialect dress and customs
A singular feature of Indian life ia
that persons who would be considered
depraved characters in a European
country and would bear the stamp of
their nature on their faces are not de
praved In their own estimation or in
that of the people at large A casual
murderer is not ashamed of himself
nor abhorred by his neighbors who
welcome him back among them if he
escapes tne gallows ana is released
after a term in jail The universal be
lief that all things are decreed by fate
accounts for this amazing state of
feeling Much more then are men re
garded with indifference or even re
spect whose time honored hereditary
and natural profession is robbery with
murder
So the members of these tribes go in
and out of the towns and villages with
out misgivings and there is not a sign
in their faces or manner to indicate
that their business is robbery and mur
der
When a gang encamps outside of a
town the inhabitants feel uncomforta
ble and take precautions but cherish
no ill will against the strangers And
when robberies and murders occur al
most immediately within a radius of
twenty miles they take more precau
tions but regard the whole affair as a
visitation of Providence like a flood or
a fire
These habitual criminals are not de
praved in any sense understood by the
people They simply have the mis
fortune to belong to a trade which is
unpleasant for the neighborhood like
a dyers or a tanners
They are well satisfied with thorn
selves and are as careful as other peo
ple of their respectability They have
no unusual vices they do not get drunk
or riotous they are civil courteous
and unassuming Cruelty and ferocity
are with them neither habits nor pleas
ures but simply methods of business
During the excitement of a sudden
attack the people if they do not run
away will turn out and aid the police
in repelling or capturing the robbers
But if a police inquiry begins two or
three days after the robbers have done
their work unmolested the people will
usually do nothing to help in tracing
them aud will even deny that they
have lost anything
For many years past the government
of India has worked to induce these
criminal tribes to settle down to a
peaceable and industrious life
But progress is very slow Vagabond
age is bred in the bone and marrow of
the tribes and marauding is their cho
sen occupation From time to time men
will suddenly disappear perpetrate
several daring dakaits in another dis
trict and escape over the border into
one of the Independent native states
which cluster round three sides of the
united provinces
The word dakaiti also spelled da
coity means robbery by a gang of
armed men and a dakait or dacolt Is
a member of such a gang
An assault by robbers in India dif
fers from one in Europe or America in
that it always takes place at night
and is accompanied by a tremendous
amount of noise The Indians are a
noisy people at all times and in a rob
bery with violence the robbers object
is to terrify their victims into a panic
hence whether travelers be waylaid on
a lonely road or a wealthy mans
house be attacked in a village the as
sault is always made suddenly with
loud shouts and yells and in the case of
a village with beating of drums and
waving of lighted torches
The persons attacked bellow for all
they are worth but rarely offer resist
ance and the general effect is so terri
fying to the cowardly people that the
neighbors either fly or else barricade
their doors and lie still till the robbers
have got at least a mile away with
their plunder Even the shrieking of wo
men under torture does not put heart
into one of them fdr the men of a
house that is attacked try to bolt for
their lives if they can and leave the
women to the mercy of the robbers
who apply lire to then and torture them
In more atrocious ways to make them
tell where the valuables are kept New
