    • Abstract:
      The article centers on Rudyard Kipling's relatively under-analyzed story, "The Mutiny of the Mavericks," which humorously depicts an Irish nationalist's unsuccessful attempt to incite mutiny among Irish soldiers in the British army in India. It delves into the political backdrop of Victorian India and Ireland, Kipling's stance on imperialism, and the comparison between the fictional narrative and a real mutiny involving Irish troops in the British army in India in 1920.
