Even members of the ruling Council lose their pasts, but within days, they are back to rationing the food and punishing anyone who goes beyond the wall that surrounds the city. Most of these books, however, contain not truth but whatever the author wishes reality to be, and they certainly don’t contain the events leading up to the day of Forgetting, during which the residents of Canaan commit the foulest of crimes knowing that everyone will forget soon enough. Every twelve years, the people of Canaan forget their lives-the memories of parents, siblings, children, occupations are all erased, with only a book documenting their former lives to remind them.

We cannot excuse or defend Kipling's attitudes, but we can acknowledge the historical fact that they were no different to those of many of his Victorian contemporaries, and be glad that the fact is a historical one. It isn't even possible to enjoy some aspects of Kim while putting Kipling's unacceptable attitudes on one side, because his attitudes are embedded in every facet of the novel. Kipling makes countless other rash and biased generalisations about India and its people (for more examples see Said p.28-9) which come from the adult narrator, and not from Kim himself. But we cannot allow the adult Kipling to hide behind his child hero's viewpoint, particularly as the novel is littered with patronising comments such as: 'The Curator smiled at the mixture of old-world piety and modern progress that is the note of India today.' (Ch.1 p.59) which are clearly from his viewpoint, rather than Kim's. Perhaps we can accept that Kim, like Kipling himself, was born in India under British rule and so, as a child, would have encountered this situation as a 'given', something which was just there, with no obvious reason why it should be questioned. a rich and absolutely fascinating, but nevertheless profoundly embarrassing novel. |
