Cultural hybrids like Kim often have trouble with identifying
himself with either the blood or the culture. Located in the
colonial context, Kipling is often defined as a patriot who
glorifies the British Empire in the way he represents Indian
cultures in the eyes of the colonizer. However, in Kim, it seems
that there are more complexities in the protagonist's swings among
India, Lama, and the Secret Agent as well as his spiritual quest
with Teshoo Lama. The binary opposition of the colonizer and the
colonized has been subtly switched with Kim's multiple
role-playings. If read merely as a political propaganda, a cultural
hybrid like Kim would never be as appealing as what is seen a
cultural stereotype to us today...
