Abstract
Kim,the racial stereotyping novel depicts the Indian natives as inferior. Many
negative images of India, figure prominently in colonial representation. They are
marginalized both politically and socially, so they're treated with disrespect and the
sense of humiliation has been inflicted upon them. The whites are privileged over the
Indians. In this sense, the novel glorifies the British Imperialism and Kipling presents
his defence of British rule in India. Though Indian spiritualism has been valorized
Kipling others India and Indian which is a product of colonial mentality.
