Dear Mr.Peter Rogers, Thanks for your post. I recall reading this short note about Kiplings which may be of some relevance to this group: "Rudyard Kipling's source of information about Buddhist sculpture came from his father Lockwood Kipling who had been a curator of Lahore Museum." I extracted this tidbit from the book titled, "Colonial Archaeology in South Asia -- The Legacy of Sir Mortimer Wheeler" by Himanshu Prabha Ray, OUP, 2008. After a quick browsing of this book, I took some sketchy notes which are posted here: http://grazingthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/02/friday-tidbits.html -- regards Ramanathan On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 12:37 AM, Peter Rogers <[email protected]>wrote: > This evening while extracting "Indians" from the 1892 Kelly's Handbook of > Titled, Landed & Official ClassesI found this little item of history. > > Peter Rogers > ----------------------------------------------- > Kipling, Jolin Lockwood, C.I.E., son. of > late Rev.
