Back Questions - No Men are foreign | Beehive | Class 9 Literature | CBSE English

“Beneath all uniforms ...” What uniforms do you think the poet is speaking about?

In the poem "No Men are Foreign" by James Kirkup, the line "Beneath all uniforms, a single body breathes" refers to the uniforms worn by individuals representing different nations or in various roles. The poet suggests that while people may wear different uniforms, representing their nationality, occupation, or social status, fundamentally, they are all part of the same human family.

Regardless of the uniform, the person beneath it shares the same basic human characteristics and experiences, such as the need for food, shelter, love, and understanding.
