Shawn · Answer 1

I believe the answer to be A. He favored colonization by the British. Kipling's works were harshly criticized for the politics in his literature. He supported the notion of the "white man's burden," in his work. He believed colonizing was a countries duty, or the "white man's burden" as Kipling puts it, to tame native populations.

George Orwell considered Kipling to be "a jingo radical", clarifying that he was "ethically harsh and tastefully appalling".
