The conversation explores the topic of the Thuggee cult, an organized group of robbers and murderers in India during the 18th and 19th centuries. The leader of the cult, Barum, was suspected of killing up to 931 people, although only 125 murders were confirmed to be linked to him. The conversation also touches on the East India Company, the lack of record-keeping during that time, and the stereotypes associated with India and its people in the Western world.
