Answer 2

Kipling himself felt that the abuse he suffered while boarding with a family in England (as was the custom for British children born in India) formed the basis for his writing career.

In his own words... "If you cross-examine a child of seven or eight on his day's doings (specially when he wants to go to sleep) he will contradict himself very satisfactorily. If each contradiction be set down as a lie and retailed at breakfast, life is not easy. I have known a certain amount of bullying, but this was calculated torture-religious as well as scientific. Yet it made me give attention to the lies I soon found it necessary to tell: and this, I presume, is the foundation of literary effort"
