Text file produced by Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team HTML file produced by David Widger "Life's Handicap: Being Stories of Mine Own People" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of life, death, love, and human fate as experienced by the diverse inhabitants of British India, focusing on their complex interactions and cultural richness. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the Chubara of Dhunni Bhagat, a monastery in Northern India populated by wandering mendicants and holy men of different faiths. The narrator, presumably Kipling himself, recounts a conversation with Gobind, a one-eyed holy man who shares stories and insights about life. Their dialogue touches upon the art of storytelling, cultural differences, and the essence of truth in tales. Gobind's discussions not only reveal the wisdom of the old man but also set the stage for the collection’s narratives, which draw from various characters across the spectrum of Indian society, showcasing their struggles and experiences in a rapidly changing world.
