He believed that the British were unfair to the Indians, and that the colonies were a liability to the nation.

Answer:

Hi!

The answer is that Rudyard Kipling's works revealed he favored colonization by the British

Step-by-step explanation:

Rudyard Kipling was born in India, and he lived in a period that saw the British Empire reach its height and begin its decline.

Kipling's writings show enthusiasm and support for Eastern culture, and it's people, and they are also filled with racism, pro-imperial jingoism, and an undying belief in the white man's right to global rule. All of these support that he prefered india to be ruled by the British and that supports the argument that he favored their colonization.
