Today we are discussing The White Man's Burden
written by the poet and novelist of Victorian Age, Rudyard Kipling.
This is a very controversial poem.
You may not like Rudyard Kipling after reading this,
but listen to it with a broad mind.
In this poem, he is giving the message that
the white people, the white men, the British people,
they have a burden, a burden,
that they should do imperialism,
they should set up their colonies in other countries,
they should make others their slaves.
There are such things in this poem.
Now it is said in this poem that
all the black people, brown people,
they are all wild people and it is the duty of the white people to make them civilized.
So here you can see racism very clearly.
Genocide is seen very clearly here.
Now he is telling his readers,
and he is telling his white readers, especially white readers,
that we will have to bear the burden of white people.
Take up the white man's burden.
Send forth the best ye breed.
Go bind your sons to exile.
Exile means out of the country.
To serve your captives' need.
So that they can serve their prisoners' needs.
Captive means their prisoners' needs.
So it is a very contradictory thing.
On one hand it is about serving and on the other hand it is about prisoners.
To wait in heavy harness on fluttered folk and wild.
This is the paradox.
And these slaves are like horses and animals in harness.
And these are wild people.
Your new caught sullen people.
Half devil and half child.
And they look like half devil and half child.
Take up the white man's burden.
Again this line is repeated in the next stanza.
You need patience to abide.
So that you can remove the veil of terror.
And check your pride once.
By open speech and simple.
And hundred times made plain.
To seek another's profit.
And work another's gain.
This is the profit of those we rule.
This is their gain.
We will work for their gain.
So he is saying.
The savage wars of peace.
You will have to fight many wild wars there.
For peace.
Fill full the mouth of famine.
And you will have to fill the mouth of the drought.
And bid the sickness cease.
And you will have to stop the diseases there.
And when your goal is nearest.
The end for others sought.
Watch sloth and heathen folly.
Bring all your hopes to naught.
You are lazy, foolish and wild.
You have no hope from them.
But you will have to hope.
Take up the white man's burden.
No tawdry rule of kings.
This imperialism of ours.
Which we have set colonies in other countries.
It is much better.
Than the rule of old kings.
But toil of serf and sweeper.
The tale of common things.
He is saying.
Our work is more difficult.
This is like domestic work.
Like cleaning work.
Tale means story.
The story is of common work.
Of domestic work.
This is not a great story.
Port means port.
The port in which you.
You means you.
You don't have to enter.
The roads you don't have to cross.
Dread means dread.
Like treadmill in gym.
You don't have to go on those roads.
Go, mark them with your living.
And mark them with your dead.
He is saying.
These ports and roads.
These are for non-white people.
For black people.
For brown people.
This facility is not for us.
You will not only serve these non-white people.
But you will also have to die in wars.
For their service.
Here it is said in ironic tone.
What reward will they get?
We will do their good.
We will make them civilized.
And what reward will we get?
We will get blame.
That we made them better.
They will blame us.
And those whom we are guarding.
We will also get hatred from them.
The cry of hosts means.
Whatever you will teach them.
They will also shout at it.
Here he is saying.
We will slowly take them to the light of civilization.
But they will say.
Why did you bring us here?
We were good in bondage.
Our beautiful Egyptian night.
The Egyptian darkness.
We were better in that.
Why did you bring us here?
Even after doing so much for these people.
These non-white people.
Will blame us.
Will hate us.
Will make fun of us.
And after doing their good.
They will say.
Why did you do this?
Next stanza will also start like this.
Take up the white man's burden.
Dare not stoop to less.
Don't dare.
To reduce this work.
You have to do this work.
Have to set up imperialism.
Have to make these ignorant people civilized.
Nor call too loud on freedom.
And don't shout too much.
To cloak your weariness.
Be all ye cry or whisper.
By all ye leave or do.
The silent sullen peoples.
Shall weigh your gods and you.
And these people who look calm.
Will judge you.
Your Gods and you.
Last stanza.
Take up the white man's burden.
Have done with childish days.
Leave these childish days.
Now you have grown up.
Grow up.
The lightly proffered laurel.
The easy ungrudged praise.
You will get praise without hatred.
Comes now.
To search your manhood.
Time has come.
Now you have grown up.
Through all the thankless years.
But now that time has come.
Cold edged with dear bought wisdom.
The judgment of your peers.
Peers.
Means our companions.
We have been thankless years.
To these people who we made civilized.
But they didn't thank us.
But our companions.
They will judge us.
They will praise our wisdom.
They will praise our truth.
And that is valuable.
So here in this poem we saw.
That its central theme is.
That it is the duty of the white man.
That he conquers other races.
This is his selfless moral duty.
He has told this thing in this poem.
He has encouraged and warned.
The United States here.
There was a subtitle of this poem.
The United States and the Philippine Island.
So here he has used very good elements.
And if someone asks the theme of this poem.
Then racial superiority and discrimination.
These are the two things here.
Which have been told.
That's all for today.
