On January 18, 1936, in London, the life and journey of the youngest contemporary Nobel Prize winner had come to an end. Rudyard Kipling was no more.

Born in Mumbai, on December 30, 1865, Kipling was a short-story writer, poet, and novelist. Today, he is especially remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India, and his tales for children such as the Jungle Book and Kim. He was the first English writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.

On his death anniversary today, we pay our humble regards to his great soul

Today, we pay our humble regards to this great soul.
