Quote #4
BLUMBERTT: The Thuggee was an obscenity that worshipped Kali with human sacrifices. The British army nicely did away with them.
The word "thug," a word which is a loaded word for the "other" in modern society, comes from the Thuggee Cult, a group of brutish killers who performed thousands of sacrificial killings in the 1800's. That's one way to scare people from a foreign land – tell them that a dangerous cult is back.
Quote #5
INDY: The peasants there told us Pankot palace was growing powerful again because of some ancient evil.
CHATTAR LAL: Village stories, Dr. Jones. They're just fear and folklore.
Once again, the idea that Pankot Palace, and whatever is happening within its walls, is also foreign to Indiana Jones is reinforced.
