I loved Kim. Sure, Kipling was an imperialist, but he was also someone who loved India, (until the age of 6, Urdu (the language taught at my father's school) was his first language), and his India, the NorthWest Provinces, is the India of my father and his family, and Kipling's description of an Anglo-Indian rascal growing up in boarding school are very similar to stories my father tells of his own boarding school.
