More pontificating on the subject of Kipling's politics... Oh, dear.
The whole "why was Kipling so unfeelingly politically incorrect?" argument reminds me of Bowdler's re-writing of Shakespeare's plays to cut out the naughty bits: undoubtedly well-meaning, but pointless to us today. Just read the bloody poetry/prose and listen to the songs, guys - and get a life!
'Reactionary racist paternalistic imperialism'? Good grief!
