Thieves and assassins.
The Thuggee were organized gangs of professional robbers and murderers who preyed on travelers (often using strangulation and deception). They were suppressed by the British in the 19th century. They were not moneylenders or academics; although some used religious disguises or rituals, they were criminal groups rather than legitimate holy men or reformers.
