This question is about "The Monkey’s Paw"

Answer:

To emphasize the mystical power of the rabbit's paw, as there are many legends about animals and mysticism in India.

Explanation:

India is a land with many legends and many stories involving mysticism and animals. This was built mainly due to the cultural and religious characteristics of India that ended up creating a stereotype about the "magical" objects that are created there. Thus, when the author places the Whites visitor as a military man who was in India and brought with him a magical object, the author imposes credibility on that object and on the visitor's words.
