Subject: Indian rehabilitation
Dear list members,
Today's 'Telegraph' reports -

that
"India is to have its first museum celebrating the writer
Rudyard Kipling, after decades in which the country he
loved consigned him to obscurity as a prophet of British
imperialism.
"A dilapidated bungalow in the grounds of an art school in
Bombay, where Kipling was born and lived until he was
nearly six, is being restored to house a hoped-for
collection of associated memorabilia. The move may be the
first sign of his rehabilitation by a people who inspired
some his most memorable
poetry and prose."
