The ballad of sir pertab singh (by sir Henry newbolt) is basically a poem a poem that reflects the power of friendship against barriers like country, caste etc. The poem starts with the introduction of pertab singh, the maharaja of jodhpore. the year pertab singh was crowned emperor, a rider came to his rose-red house. in the next paragraph, we come to know more about the rider. it is said that he is young and an englishman and a soldier from head to foot. and he and pertab singh got along so well that sparks of their friendship flew. their rapport is compared with the fire produced when steel strikes steel.
In the next two paragraphs we are told more about their deep and close friendship: how they rode together all day long, how they talked of women, of East and West and how they both agreed that the soldier's life is the best. in the next paragraph, we come to know that the Englishman dies. in the stanza that follows it is described how the soldier was placed in a coffin. then we come to know that only three biers who were English and one was missing so they pleaded with the maharaja to allow a sweeper to be the bier, to which the maharaja replies that there is no need for a sweeper as he would be the fourth bier. and no matter how much the others warned him he still became the fourth bier. the next all the brahmins of the kingdom appeared in pertab singh's house and one of the priests told pertab that he has lost his caste. pertab singh got very angry and said that the castes of brahmins and rajputs are nothing but dust compared to one caste, the caste of a soldier.
