That 'Colonial Past' civilized much of the world through both war and peace

[@MichaelLeBlanc-p4f]

Kipling has never been more relevant from his time till today

[@robinclarke9978]

Kipling was one of the best English poets. He's not well regarded due to the colonial past. He only had the best intentions for India and it's people.

[@jgarbo3541]

Nonsense. He was a tool of British imperialism, which destroyed India and impoverished it for centuries.

[@edeledeledel5490]

"The Road to Mandalay" is a nostalgic poem about his time in the Far East, written when he was returning from 7 years in India via Burma. Kipling claimed that when in Moulmein, he had paid no attention to the Great Pagoda his poem later made famous, because he was so struck by a Burmese beauty on the steps. He wrote at the time "I love the Burman with the blind favouritism born of first impression. When I die I will be a Burman … and I will always walk about with a pretty almond-coloured girl who shall laugh and jest too, as a young maiden ought." Very broad-minded for 1890.

@@robinclarke9978 “…there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face though they come from the ends of the earth!” Those are not the words of a racist or bigot.

@@taggartlawfirm I pay no attention to fashionable labels. They come and go with whatever people feel they need to say for attention. Their opinions held as fast as the next screen that captivates them. The fashionable can call Kipling what they like. Won't change our opinion of him one iota.

Yeah why would you say that? Aside from being a generalizing racist bigot. Of course that’s just my guess.

[@jgarbo3541]

Not this "white man". I'm quite sane and nice...You've been slumming, my dear. Get out of the gutter.
