- BBC shot a part of their documentary on"Rudyard Kipling" in Simla (2014) .
"Lispeth" is a short story by Rudyard Kipling. It was first published in the Civil and Military Gazette on 29 November 1886; its first appearance in book form was in the first Indian edition of Plain Tales from the Hills in 1888, and it later appeared in subsequent editions of that collection. The tale is an interesting example of Kipling's attitudes to different races and cultures, which is less simple than many accounts of his beliefs allow.

Unusual to see this kind of documentary where the presenter is not obtruding his own personality to the detriment of the content. Refreshing.
Wonderful photos and video of the Raj and India today. The host undderstands his subject and does not speak too much during interviews.
Thank you. You have understood Kipling so well !
I really enjoyed this video. Very informative. I cannot understand how intelligent people can call Kipling a Jingoist if they really know the words and the feelings conveyed by Gunga Din or Mandalay. Only a close association with real rank and file soldier’s of the working class could lend such descriptive dialogue .
Hi Patrick, We share this story as part of our joint family history. My mother Audrey Hennessey Gruban was your grandfather Patrick Hennessey's only sister. As a child I heard many stories about the British in India from my Grandmother Nina Anderson Hennessey . Your excellent film has filled in many gaps for me. Thank you !
Great documentary on a fascinating complex influencetial writer. Kim is a masterpiece. Amazing to think he started editing a paper when he was still a teenager.
It's amazing how many Pakistanis in this film are more British than many British are today.
Iam sorry to disappoint you dear but all are indians here
shailly bhardwaj Lahore is no longer in India but Pakistan.
Thank-you for an excellent documentary. Look forward to reading Kipling for the rest of 2021.
This is just superb!
India is the most amazing and life changing place I've ever traveled, hands down. I can't wait some day to go back. Having said that, it's certainly not a place everyone can handle. You must be comfortable with commotion, chaos, and lack of control.
Absolutely engaging. Loved every minute of it.
This is awesome, thanks for uploading
This is an interesting video, never before knew about Kipling.
Visiting my grandmother in the 1970's when I was around 12 she got a photo album and pointed to a photo of her brother who was a soldier in 1920"s India, and said, "" he wrote the heat and flies were driving him mad"", and that he killed himself. I know that's sad, but can't help laughing when I think of her pointing to a pop eyed bean pole, with walrus mustache pith helmet ,and baggy shorts saying ""he looks mad there, don't he""? And bloody did too lol.
It's very detailed and useful job.Thank you.
thanks for sharing
thanks for sharing. very interesting!
Fantastic. We are going to india this year. So excited.
Brilliant. Inspired to both read and visit the locations written about by Kipling.
Wonderfully done! Now i understand more of what I read in KIM.
An excellent opportunity to learn about Kipling as a young man and understand so much more about the beginnings of the early growth of his astonishing life and work.. Thank you..
this is brilliant
Outstanding.
I never forgot the words "if you can hold your head......."
Of course Kipling was a great entertainer, and so is this documentary. I really loved the detailed insights into this great author. He is not English but rather a representation of humanity!
Informative
Kipling had praised the Jallianwallabag massacre which we Indians look as a horrible shameful episode in the history of British imperialism. So i am doubtful as a human being how he was.
Just finished reading "Kim" for the second time. Had to know more about Kipling, and this documentary has really helped me understand. I believe Kipling wrote Kim as a fantasy that he wished he could have lived, if he could have written a script for his young life. It is truly phenomenal the way Kipling understood and interwove the intricacies of the geography/topography of India, religion, caste, culture, British rule, conflict, and international intrigue into such a clever and captivating tale.
Thank you. All those who believe Kipling was a jingoistic, racist bigot should watch this documentary.
They should also read his works, but they likely lack the intellect or wisdom to appreciate them.
Slappy Yes. I really lack the intellect to figure out his work in which he is spouting Racism.
Exactly. All he was doing was describing exactly what he saw of the real Indian Street scenes and life.
New definition of racism = the quality in which a person refuses to acknowledge race or make it excruciatingly important in life.
Great upload, thank you. What is this presenters name ? ❤️
I really enjoyed reading The Jungle Books as a teen.
I must have read Kim a few dozen times, it still makes me blub when he has to leave his guru! The 1950 film with Errol Flynn is superb! ❤
I've visited his former house in the south east of England.
“Love across the racial divide” I am an Anglo-Indian.
I am German. I have lots of english Relations, some served in India , even in the 60th they where talking about their good Times there and that God is english. 😂😂
Good Lord.
Saying God is English by no means does not imply that God is also Indian...!!! May God bless us all in the five continents 🙏

My one too . My Friend
Well done! I couldn't help thinking throughout the video about the tension between the Empires colonists and the lower classes. Rebels rarely ever give the imperialists credit for their mission, which is to solve problems like health care and housing issues. The imperialists were asked for help. That's why they went to these foreign countries.
I've been reading Kipling's work. This video is amazing despite the narrator having the identity of such land which caused Outrageous apartheid.
I find the music very intrusive and I think unnecessary
Who is Nilofar Balhtiyar?
When the darkened fifties dip to the north
And frost and the fog divide the air
And the day is dead at his breaking forth.
Sirs, it is bitter beneath the bear!...
...We shall go back by the boltless doors
To the life unaltered our childhood knew,
To the naked feet on the cool, dark floors
And the high-ceiled rooms that the Trade blows through
57:30 - Lapis Luzli "?"
53:20 interesting story of suicide of a soldier
The introduction to this film is very misleading. It would imply that Kipling first went to India as a teenager. He was born in India (Bombay) and left India age 5 to attend boarding school in England. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.. MMMH?
Listen at 2:49
True, and he was fluent in Hindustani before he was fluent in English.
You weren't listening.
That is what the documentary says .
I'd love to be able to travel through Lahore at night I know being a Caucasian American id be fucked with guaranteed but to just blend in enjoy the ethnic food smoke some hash and lose myself in those opiates and purchase the best call girl companion I could find. I've always been a sucker for the decadent and depraved. Plus you could score some seriously good gear in Pakistan.
Up the 4th Kerala Rifles (Trivandrums Own)!!
amazing ..,wife and husband 🤣
50:55 : Every woman's wet dream
*"Kipling is a jingo imperialist, he is morally insensitive and aesthetically disgusting" George Orwell*
Have you read Orwell's essay? Do you know the context of this quote?
RIGHT after the quote Orwell basically continues with a sentiment that coincides with this documentary. Basically doing away with the 'bad' stuff to continue with the 'good' stuff; and sharply critisizing more 'liberal' politicians and writers while at it. He definately does not say the quote to throw Kipling under the bus entirerly as your singled out citation seems to do (at least to me. I do not know your intentions). It is an interesting read and I highly recommend it if you are truly interested in Orwell and/or Kipling.
What a load of bollocks .
That essay basically explains that Kippling was not a fascist which many on the far left confused him with. Orwell clearly had a different view of the empire, you saw that in Shooting the Elephant and Burmese Days. Orwell spent time in Burma and didn't like what he saw and thought the empire was just about making money. They were both great writers and interesting men, one a Conservative and the other a socialist but they both opposed the rising Facism in Europe.
Not very objective. Little bit 'fan-boyish'.
How so? It appears to be simple and factual
@@mikem9001 it was a well done documentary that was refreshingly positive. I suppose by Fanboyish it didn't really interview anyone who had anything critical to say about Kipling. Also at the end to say to no other writer had the impact or popularity he did is maybe a bit unfair on Charles Dickens. Dickens' Christmas Carol helped create the Victorian Christmas traditions. Also he had international stardom too, including in the USA, the Old Curosity Shop was so popular its said that New York readers stormed the wharf when the ship bearing the final installment arrived in 1841. By the time Kipling was writing though the UK population was becoming more literate, Dickens could only reach the educated public of his day.
I'm guessing you've never even read Kipling.
