Nobel Literature Prizes of Empire: Kipling 1907 to Tagore 1913. 120 Nobels reading challenge

It is the second week of my reading challenge - to read all 120 winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature before the 2024 winner is announced.
In week two of the 120 Nobels reading challenge I introduce you to the Nobel Prizes of Empire - from Kipling in 1907 to Tagore in 1913. Both wrote about the British Empire in India, but in dramatically different ways.
And we learn about the first woman winner of the Nobel Prize, and the first entanglements of the Nobel Prize winners with the tragic world wars of the twentieth century.

Fascinating, it had never occurred to me thaz Rudyard and Rabindranath while two different and quite frankly opposite minds of their time were at the same time so similar. One makes a case for colonialism and another staunchly against, yet somehow both are in love with the same land and the same culture in different. I had never come upon such an accurate metaphor for "two coins of same side" before. Brief an excellent description.

Modi should read Rabindranath Tagore in order to realise his narrowness of perspective and accepts that he was born of woman.
