About
Indian Tales by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories told by the indigenous as well as the tourists invaders. Kipling's vignettes of life in British India give vivid insights into Anglo-India at work and play, and into the character of the Indians themselves. The language is rough and rude, but reflects the world that it was. The stories, characters, situations, portrayals, dialogues are fresh, rich and funny, even though they were written almost a 100 years ago. The language was very Victorian, but the stories probably would not have been so funny, if not in such an honorary language justifying the colonial times the stories are based on. The most light and funny situations are explained in such a rich language that they seem not so ordinary and indeed exceptional.
