By Broadway Turk Superstar There are many who would consider Rudyard Kipling the patron saint of India, and nothing could be closer to the truth. Although Kipling was no Gandhi, nor an inventor, researcher or builder, he did more to convey the British experience in India than perhaps any other writer. It was a time when India was still an English colony, and as was their custom, their settlers steadfastly held onto their culture while trying to assimilate into the society behind their heavily-guarded walls. Kipling ventured beyond these walls to learn the language, live among the people and share enough of their experiments to write this testimonio for the ages.The author spent seven years in India and would easily have been acclaimed Poet Laureate after Tennyson had he not drawn the ire of Queen Victoria for referring to her as "The Woidow of Windsor". His travels were world-renowned, telling of a land where people held onto their ancient beliefs in gods and demons, experienced metaphysical relationships with the wild beasts that abounded throughout their jungles, and honored friendships, family ties, duties and obligations with loyalty unto death. The 'sahib' was treated as royalty, and Kipling never once took the prestige lightly. The author pays tribute to his hosts in these ten short stories that immerse the reader into a society and culture nearly forgotten by our 21st century generation.Moti Guj - Mutineer is the tale of an elephant, a story of a beast of burden with the instincts of a dog that could have only happened in India. The Maltese Cat narrates a game of polo played with the savagery, competition and integrity by a have-not team that would have done justice to the National Football League. William the Conqueror depicts a devastating drought leading to a brutal famine that tests the limits of both Indians and Englishmen alike. Kipling's narrative tells how both comunities join together in humanitarian efforts to help the impoverished that would have made Mother Teresa proud.Rudyard Kipling's love for India and its people not only defined him as an adventurer and philanthropist, but left Western culture with an unparalleled history of the English-Indian relationship of the 19th century. Kipling's India is an insightful and unforgettable collection to be enjoyed by all.
