Anti racist. It is interesting to see how we read this poem differently. GUEST,Senoufou - PM Date: 21 Nov 16 - 01:43 PM ... Gunga Din was only respect-worthy once he proveded himself fearless in battle... I've always taken it that Gunga Din was constantly fearless, I've always taken this as an antiracist poem. Within the first few lines it says "... The finest man I knew ..." As meself & others & BP says Brian Peters - PM Date: 21 Nov 16 - 11:15 AM Isn't the most important line in the poem the very last one? "You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"
