Unlock now 🔓You are Akram/Aruna of class VIII and have recently read ‘Mowgli’s Brothers’. You were quite touched by the act of the Wolf Pack, Bagheera and Baloo to include and train Mowgli as one of their own. However, what saddens you is that this quality of inclusiveness is hardly seen in human beings these days. You would like to encourage your classmates to be more inclusive towards new students, students from different parts of the country, those who are differently-abled and so on.
Write an article for your school magazine, sharing your thoughts on the need for students to be inclusive and compassionate, the consequences of not doing so, and some suggestions on how this positive trait could be inculcated in your peers. Write this article in about 150 words.

About the Author - Mowgli's Brothers | English Access | Class 8 Literature | English
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English author, poet, and journalist, best known for his extensive work in children's literature. Born in Bombay, British India, Kipling spent his early years in India before moving to England for his education. He returned to India as a young adult and started his career as a writer and journalist.
Kipling's most famous works include "The Jungle Book" (1894), a collection of stories featuring the adventures of Mowgli, a young boy raised by animals in the Indian jungle, and "Just So Stories" (1902), a collection of origin tales for children. His other notable works include the novel "Kim" (1901) and the poems "If—" (1910) and "Gunga Din" (1890).
Throughout his career, Kipling's work celebrated British imperialism, earning him both praise and criticism. In 1907, he became the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Despite his controversial views, Kipling's impact on children's literature and his contributions to the English literary canon remain significant.
