Dear Michael - Liz - John
To answer Michaels final point - A glossary of Hindustani words to be found
in RK's works appears in KJ No 3 pp 228-30.(W.G.B.Maitland) I will
photocopy it for Michael & Liz, although perhaps John might like to put it
on the web site! No 57 carries and article by Lt.Gen Sir George Mac Munn
entitled "Kipling's Hindustani" - likewise. No 226 carries "Language
aspects in Kim" by David Stewart - No 171 has "Kipling's use of
Indo-Pakistani languages" by Shamsul Islam which engendered some
correspondence in Nos 172 & 174. There are others which I'll need to track
down.
