meself | Gunga Din. Racist or just of its time? (147* d) | RE: Gunga Din. Racist or just of its time? | 03 Feb 24 |
"you need to know rather a lot about the British Army of the Victorian era" - Of course, 'rather a lot' is relative, but I don't think you really need to know much at all about said subject to get the idea of the poem; it's fairly obvious, isn't it? I mean, I understood it when I read it as a kid, and, while I was certainly 'bookish', I wasn't a genius then or now, by any stretch. |
