“If ” by Rudyard Kipling
Introduction: Joseph Rudyard Kipling is the author of the poem If. Kipling wrote the poem during his stay in Great Britain in 1909. It was first published in 1910 and gained immediate attention everywhere in Britain, and it was quickly adopted as a popular anthem.
Kipling lived from December 30, 1865, to January 18, 1936. He was born in India and moved with his family to England when he was five years old. In India, he was born in Bombay, presently called Mumbai to a British Family on 30 December, 1865 to Alice Kipling and John Lockwood Kipling. His mother was a lively woman and his father was a sculptor and pottery designer who went on become the Principal of Architectural sculpture at Sir Jamestjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in Bombay. Kipling was named after the Rudyard Lake in Staffordshire, England which his parents loved as a place of beauty. Kipling’s parents considered themselves Anglo-Indians and the complex issue of identity and nationality was a prominent feature in his works as the writer himself wrote in his autobiography. Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English writer chiefly known for his works on the British rule in India.
Five days after Rudyard Kipling’s death on 18 January 1936, George Orwell published a short essay in the New English Weekly as an obituary or as a sort of tribute to the “household god” with whom he had grown up:
For my own part I worshipped Kipling at thirteen, loathed him at seventeen, enjoyed him at twenty-five and now again rather admire him. The one thing that was never possible, if one had read him at all, was to forget him.
Kipling was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. He also remains the youngest recipient of the award to this date. The prize citation said: “In consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterize the creations of this world-famous author.” Nobel prizes had been established in 1901 and Kipling was the first English language recipient.
The honour of being the British Poet Laureate and Knighthood were also proposed to him whom he reportedly declined or refused to accept.
He wrote stories and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. In the poem If, Kipling provides a guide for how to live an honourable and successful life. The principles presented still apply today. In India, a framed copy of the If poem was placed on the wall in the cabins of the officer cadets at the National Defense Academy. The poem presents the way that the officers should conduct their lives.
The poem If uses figurative language. Figurative language uses words and phrases that are not meant to be taken for real in a literal way. It uses a phrase that describes something by comparing it to some other thing or as a symbol of some action. This is known as a metaphor.

Summary of If
“If” is a didactic poem, a work to teach. It gives instruction in developing several specific traits of a successful leader. Kipling provides this instruction not by specifying specific features, but by offering detailed illustrations of the complex actions that a man should or should not take to match those features. The poem is about moral lessons and behaviour. It includes advice from a father to a son on how to grow up to be a better person and a true man. He reminds his son that he will be a man if he can hang on to his beliefs and not be manipulated by others. If he takes his advice, he will have a life that is satisfying and enriching.
