In 1815, the remote island of Mauritius (then Île de France) witnessed an extraordinary uprising: not by slaves, but by convicts transported from British India. This episode tells the story of the 'Thugs' Rebellion' — a coordinated revolt by hundreds of Indian prisoners who seized control of Port Louis for two days. We trace the origins of these convicts, their harsh conditions on the island, the secret planning that led to the revolt, and its brutal suppression. We also explore the impact of this rebellion on British colonial policy and the lives of the convicts who were later sent to build roads in the interior. Along the way, we encounter figures like Governor Sir Robert Farquhar, the convict leader Boodhoo, and the tangled web of imperial justice that sent men thousands of miles from home to a life of hard labour. This is a forgotten chapter in Mauritius history that reveals the island as a node in a global empire of punishment. #Mauritius #ConvictRebellion #BritishIndia #PortLouis #SirRobertFarquhar #Boodhoo #IndianConvicts #Thugs #1815 #ColonialHistory #PenalTransportation #EastIndiaCompany #Slavery #MauritiusHistory #IndianOcean #Empire #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
