Kipling shows us in their writing that he is worried by socil order . He distinguish  three different communities, that is with different rules, laws, customs, religion, definitively with another culture and they are England, Anglo-India and India. Although Queen´s Victoria empire try to unit them there is a long space between them.
   Kipling born in Bombay, studied in a school in England and later he returned to India. he was moving all time and he is confused with his identity,  a mixture of an English and Indian one. These are Kipling´s preocupations which are represented through the characters he creates for his stories. We always can find a native Indian who has contact with an Anglo-Indian,or an Anglo-Indian who has contact with a native Indian.
   Sometimes the violenty and the drama are presents in the ending,as the death, a widow,etc. The feeling of the different communities have to arise in the plots and the fact of the colonialism i spresent all time, as so the hibridity, the immaginative communities and finally, the knowledge as power.
   The main point worrying to Kipling is the identity.He is obsessed in the three communities: England, Anglo-Indian e Indian for which he hopes an unification.
   Read Kipling and understand the problems of the England Imperialism or the colonization.
