If a Photo Journal could be developed …,
Life during British Raj
All photos, from others’ Blogs
Else, we retain the Englishman’s view of History, written through Kipling’s eye …,
Rudyard Kipling, “The White Man’s Burden” (1899)
Kipling urged the Americans to adopt England’s value based Rule of India as the United States waged war against ‘Filipino insurgents’, fighting for Independence after having worsted Spain’s Rule for over 300 years.
Take up the White Man’s burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—
Go send your sons to exile
To serve your captives’ need
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child
Take up the White Man’s burden
