DMcG Gunga Din. Racist or just of its time? (147* d) RE: Gunga Din. Racist or just of it's time? 21 Nov 16

I am with Jeri and meself on this one. In fact I referenced this poem about a fortnight ago saying it showed how complex Kipling get was as a character. You should not underestimate how striking it was to claim Gunga Din could be a better person than a well bred, respectable English man.


Patronising? It would be written today, but only because most of us already accept the import of those last lines.
