Answer:

Kipling was an advocate of British imperialism. For example, he wrote the poem The White Man's Burden, which reveals Hegelian master-servant dialectics and racism: the white man drags the colored people with him as a burden and teaches civilization.

After the Massacre of Amritsar, where hundreds of protesting Indians were killed on 13 April 1919 under the authority of General Reginald Dyer, Kipling called him "the man who saved India".

The Man Who Would Be King was published in 1888. It tells the story of two unscrupulous British adventurers in the British Raj who plan to become kings of Kafiristan, a remote region of Afghanistan. This story shows the author's position regarding European supremacy over other peoples, giving European characters behaviors that reflect greater intelligence and boldness than the other characters.

Kipling was a staunch imperialist seeing it as ''the White Man's Burden'
Daniel and Peachey represent the Empire expanding to the benefit of the natives. The 'White man's magic' of course impresses the credulous natives, and they reap the benefits of their modernity by ruling.
It is only when they start familiarising with the locals that their prestige is destroyed.
Kipling is warning to keep them at arms length, and stay with your own.

lines 174-185 explain the irony in the statement that the irish "stay at home on purpose to deliver the kingdom to the pretender
GaryK [48]

By these words, which are part of Johathan's Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), the author is referring to the claim to the throne of England, Ireland and Scotland by James Francis Edward Stuart, son of King James II. The latter was a Catholic King, who had already fathered a daughter named Mary; until James Francis Edward's birth, Mary, who had been raised as a Protestant, was the legitimate heiress to the English throne. James Francis Edward was a Catholic. The English Protestants were reluctant to have a Catholic king, as they did not wish to be under the political influence of the Pope. Therefore, they rebelled against James II, whom they overthrew. Mary and her husband William of Orange then became Protestant Queen and King of England, Ireland and Scotland. Ireland is the "home" to which Swift refers in this statement. Since the Irish were and are Catholic, they wished to help James Francis Edward Stuart regain his position as heir to the British, Irish and Scottish crown. Swift contrasts these irish men with those Protestants who would rather leave England than pay taxes to a Catholic king.

James Francis Edward's attempts to regain the crown were unsuccessful.
