This is how Kipling introduces the Hurree Babu in the novel: "At the end of that time entered a hulking, obese Babu whose stockinged legs shook with fat,...."[16] Following this description Kipling always describes the babu's appearance as shabby, his voice "oily," his mouth stuffed with pan and betel and his English distorted.
Kipling's framing of Kim and the babu in such oppositional positions is crucial to the power-relations within which his narrative operates.

 Rudyard Kipling & the god of things as they are by John Derbyshire
John Kipling seems, from the Holts’ account, to have been an amiable and rather endearing youth, not especially distinguished in any way, definitely not intellectual (at age fourteen he claimed he had read none of his father’s books), but witty and good-natured, chiefly interested in playing cricket.
Kipling’s god was, in his own words, the “God of Things As They Are.” To say, in the commonplace phrase, that he had a journalist’s eye for detail is preposterously inadequate.
Kipling only ever vented such feelings in private, which indicates that he felt ashamed of them, as of foul language—in respect of which latter, Kipling had found hypocrisy indispensable in his work.

 Hybridity and History
Kipling with his lopsided 'views' on The White Man's Burden is a sitting duck for theoretical snipers who would consider the tendency to gloss over binary dichotomies a Eurocentric dodge.
Although at one level Kipling's project is the self-fashioning of the Platonic form in as much as the two loafers establish themselves as King and Viceroy, his text also deranges the codes of empire through a parenthetic intervention of the tropology of performance.
Kipling's story unfolds on two different levels; as personal history of a pair of loafers and its representation as a collective enactment of the establishment of the British Empire in India.

 Kipling's India -- ThingsAsian Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Kipling sums up the bloody suppression of the Indian Mutiny of 1857 using the following euphemism: "Then came the Sahibs from over the sea and called [the mutineers] to most strict account." A messy business, in other words, but necessary - a mere matter of accounting.
Kipling shows us a drunken Indian taking umbrage at the British Raj for having "forced upon him a white man's education and neglected to supply him with a white man's salary." Incidentally, this disparity between education and opportunity remains in many developing countries.
Kipling's India is of course quite foreign to the India of today.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born on December 30th, 1865 at Bombay, India.
A strong imperialist, as examplified by his classic The White Man's Burden which contray to revisionists attempts was not meant as an ironic liberal criticism of British imperial and missionary efforts, he argued for the moral obligation of the leading nations of the world, obviously Europe, to civilize the under-developed.
The 1920s and 1930s was to be the age of Gertrude Stein (who was satirized brilliantly as the minor character Lois Cook in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead) and the Kipling style, politics, and sense of life was now seen as part of a deservedly dying age.

 Rudyard Kipling -- The Bard of British Imperialism
Rudyard Kipling was, in his grand style, the bard of British Imperialism, and in his dialect poems, the voice of the common soldier.
Kipling is often ignored today, because his exultation in the supposed moral and cultural superiority of European (and specifically British) civilization makes liberal-minded twentieth-century readers wince.
But the human virtues that Kipling is most concerned with - courage, duty, honor, decency, commitment and grit - he is quick to recognize in men and women from all classes and races.
