You doubt? Here's a quote from the site linked below.

Kali,the goddess of war,and also the legendary founder of the cult of Thugee,which was a anti-British organization bent upon riding India of the English.In the Latter part of nineteenth century Thugee gangs,many of whom were kalaripayit disciples,sneaked the English barracks and homes to strangle their victims silently with a silken scraf which had an indian rupee encased within its folds.The coin pressed violently against the larynx and chocked the unsuspecting victim to death.The English word 'Thug' is derived from this gruesome Indian cult.
