Abstract
Rudyard Kipling has been one of the few British writers born in India whose writing exhibits a range of sentiments, strength and struggle of the British, the Anglo-Indians and the native Indians alike. His 39 stories published in Civil and Military Gazette under the title of Plain Tales from the Hills between November 1886 and January 1887 and later edited versions of the tales, 29 from Civil Military Gazette and 11 new tales, exhibit the said range. Most of these stories are concerned with Anglo-Indian life, civilian and military, that include Kipling’s soldier trio, Mulvaney, Learoyd and Ortheris.
