Biography
Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English writer and Nobel prize winner, born in Bombay, India, during The Raj. Many of Kipling's works, including The Jungle Book, are set in British India, and popularised most of the associated tropes. His other works include some early Science Fiction, while his literary style, particularly indirect exposition, was a significant influence on Campbell, Bertolt Brecht and Robert A. Heinlein. He was a favourite of Henry James, T. S. Eliot, Jorge Luis Borges, Neil Gaiman and others. Even Salman Rushdie while disagreeing entirely with his politics, his viewpoints, and values, agrees that Kipling's work, biased as it is, does capture a sense of an authentic India, which despite his imperial viewpoint, he did get right to an extent. And what is more, Kipling was an innovator in the short story form, a prolific author of many stories and tales, and avoiding Sturgeon's Law for a good number of them.
