Rudyard Kipling used the swastika in the context of its original meaning as an ancient symbol of good fortune and well-being. At that time, the swastika was not associated with the negative connotations it later acquired. Kipling likely included it in "Soldiers Three" as a symbol of luck.
Rudyard Kipling was best known, in his own time, for his poetry and for reviving the artform of the short story. From the mid to late 20th century he was known best as a writer of children's stories and for his ties to the Scouting movement. From the 1950's on Kipling has become a fertile ground for high grossing movie adaptations (The Man Who Would Be King, The Jungle Book, etc)
In 1894, Rudyard Kipling's life was focused on his literary career. He published "The Jungle Book" in this year, which became one of his most famous works. Additionally, Kipling continued to travel extensively and write prolifically during this time.
An imperialistic poem published in McClure's Magazine in February of 1899, By Rudyard Kipling. Born in British India in 1865, Rudyard Kipling was educated in England before returning to India in 1882, where his father was a museum director and authority on Indian arts and crafts. Thus Kipling was thoroughly immersed in Indian culture: by 1890 he had published in English about 80 stories and ballads previously unknown outside India. As a result of financial misfortune, from 1892-96 he and his wife, the daughter of an American publisher, lived in Vermont, where he wrote the two Jungle Books. After returning to England, he published "The White Man's Burden" in 1899, an appeal to the United States to assume the task of developing the Philippines, recently won in the Spanish-American War. As a writer, Kipling perhaps lived too long: by the time of his death in 1936, he had come to be reviled as the poet of British imperialism, though being regarded as a beloved children's book author. Today he might yet gain appreciation as a transmitter of Indian culture to the West.
