... that The Naulahka by Rudyard Kipling portrays a young, androgynous American woman who moves to India seeking to alleviate the suffering of women denied access to health care?
ALT1 ... that the American protagonist of The Naulahka by Rudyard Kipling reflects Western women who from the 1880s gave relief to Indian women denied access to health care?
ALT2 ... that The Naulahka by Rudyard Kipling depicts the barriers Indian women faced to receiving health care, and the efforts of Western women to ameliorate their suffering?
Overall: I can approve ALT2. ALT0, is, as Bremps, observed, in-fiction. ALT1 seems entirely positive, in defiance of Kipling's famous ambiguity: just from reading the JSTOR article you cite here it is clear that Kipling both supports the protagonist's efforts and critiques them, leaving his description as "Western women gave relief" doesn't do him justice. He understands the problems with the white savior better than anyone. ALT2 at least captures some of that ambiguity. GRuban (talk) 01:56, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
