Kipling's Kim is almost universally read as a monologic discourse projecting a racist, even chauvinistic, brand of imperialism. While in no way aiming to exculpate Kipling from this charge, the present article attempts to read Kim against the grain, as it were, by applying the interpretive framework of 'subalternity' established by Ranajit Guha and the Subaltern Studies Collective of the University of Delhi, India. Viewed from this perspective, Kim is seen to operate within a related group of discursive 'contexts' which are simultaneously subverted and deconstructed by a parallel group of transgressive 'con-texts.'
Quite apart from its overt political content, Kipling has brought to bear on Kim the closely allied imperialist paradigms of race, class, gender, sexuality, and nineteenth-century science, all of which had been co-opted by colonial culture to affirm its practices and redeem Western civilization from the stigma of brutality. The article identifies these discursive formations as the 'contexts' of Kim. Thus Kim offers a more comprehensive purview of the imperialist enterprise than merely a celebration of the Great Game. However, writers whose work reflects the experience of empire also betray, often unknowingly, the anxieties and contradictions at the heart of the imperial ethos. These subterranean fault-lines have been identified here as the 'con-texts' that problematize, and even seriously destabilize, the 'contexts' of Kim. The present essay articulates the 'con-texts' in terms of the subaltern experiences of resistance, hybridity and marginality, and locates their presence both within the novel and outside the novel in its larger socio-cultural environment. Hence the article mainly concentrates on the Dionysian interplay of the novel's contexts and con-texts.
The concluding section locates this analysis within the Indian literary terrain. Through a brief comparison between Kim and Tagore's Gora, which is also a novel about cultural translation set in the colonial period, the article shows how Kipling, unlike Tagore, was ideologically unable to follow through to their logical conclusions the subversive potentialities inherent in his own novel. The article also claims that it is precisely because of the presence of these subversive potentialities, which a 'subaltern' re-reading uncovers, that Kim, despite being an apologia for the Raj, has functioned as a subtext in several major Indian English novels.
