About the poem by Rudyard Kipling
In the poem, "The White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling, the poet says that White people have a moral obligation to "civilize" non-white people. He presents this as a noble duty, a burden that white people must bear for the benefit of the "lesser" races. This justification is based on the idea of racial superiority prevalent at the time.
The speaker also pointed out that the process of "civilization" will involve hardship and suffering for both white and non-white people.
