Mahbub's Stereotypes

Kipling demonstrates that it is the white man's duty to lead all nations and people. During the night Mahbub is informed that there is a plot to kill him, as Kipling portrays the man a coward, he hatches a plan, saying," The English do eternally tell the truth he said therefore we out of this country are eternally made foolish. By Allah I will tell the truth to an English man... They are zealous and if they catch thieves it is remembered to their honor" ( Kipling 141 2004). Mahbub states that the English are always honest, which leads to their dominance over the Natives of India. He also portrays them as determined, and hard working. Mahbub's quotes clearly show that Indians rely on British men to help run the country, because they have
After the the Spanish-American war, the United States came away many colonies taken from the Spanish, Kipling," had exhorted America, which was then about to invade the Philippines , to help the British carry the ' White Man's burden' and civilize its ' new caught sullen people's, / Half-devil and half-child" ( Kipling xi 2004). Kipling believed that since Whites had superior culture and behavior which stemmed from the most civilized of all, the Romans, The Whites had a duty to the rest of mankind.

They find out that he is a son of one of the soldiers and decide to raise him as a soldier. When he objects, he is told," You will be what you're told to be' said Bennett; 'and you should be grateful that we're going to help you.' Kim's smiled compassionately, if these men lay under the delusion that he would do anything that he did not fancy, so much the better ( Kipling 94 2004). In this instance Kim a white who is familiar with the ways of India is pitted against two British men from England. The two men insist on getting Kim to follow their orders, but in reality Kim can easily escape into India and through his cultural knowledge, he can hide in plain sight. Kim is in the Orphanage when he decides he wants to send a letter to Mahbub," Kim hailed a sweeper, who promptly retorted with a piece of unnecessary insolence in the natural believe that the European boy could not follow. The low quick answer undeceived. Kim put his fettered soul into it, thankful for the late chance to abuse somebody in the tongue he knew best" ( Kipling 101).
