In his early fiction, Kipling was more concerned with the life of an Anglo-Indian in his struggle on the hot land of India. He projected the image of India from the view point of an Anglo- Indian having as sense of superiority of face as well as his doings. He was also concerned with the plight of an Anglo- Indian in the face of torturous heat and other difficulties, natural, physical and psychological. In the early fiction he was also careful about the prestige of an Anglo-Indian in India, of course among the native dwellers on the one hand and on the other among the people of British community. Kipling wanted to prove the greatness of English efforts in modernizing the uncivilized regions of the world a thing which was understood by him as while man's burden.

Abstract


In his early fiction, Kipling was more concerned with the life of an Anglo-Indian in his struggle on the hot land of India. He projected the image of India from the view point of an Anglo- Indian having as sense of superiority of face as well as his doings. He was also concerned with the plight of an Anglo- Indian in the face of torturous heat and other difficulties, natural, physical and psychological. In the early fiction he was also careful about the prestige of an Anglo-Indian in India, of course among the native dwellers on the one hand and on the other among the people of British community. Kipling wanted to prove the greatness of English efforts in modernizing the uncivilized regions of the world a thing which was understood by him as while man's burden.
