Introduction
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India, in December of 1865. As a boy, he took pleasure in the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Willkie Collins. He was around eleven years old when he first started writing. Kipling’s best-known work, The Jungle Book, was published in the late 1890s. Kipling’s life took a tragic turn in the 1930s with the death of his second child.
After developing an ulcer and undergoing surgery, Kipling died less than a week later. His ashes were interred in Westminster Abbey in Poet’s Corner. Since, his writing has come under some scrutiny as readers’ opinions of his colonial, sometimes overly masculine tone now seems much less tasteful.
The poem “IF” is a masterpiece written by a British Poet Rudyard Kipling in 1895. It was first published in 1910 in the chapter “Brother Square Toes” of the book “Rewards and Fairies” which is a collection of Rudyard Kipling’s poetry and short-story fiction. The poem is an inspirational one written in second-person narrative. The narrator directly addresses his reader throughout the poem in order to inspire him with what he is saying. It consists of four stanzas, each one having eight lines.

It is written in iambic pentameter. This poem is about a faith in himself. The father reveals the secret to his son to become a better human being. He motivates him to adopt certain traits in order to succeed in life. The son is told by the father to never give up after failure but to get up, reunite his soul and begin his struggle again.
Rudyard Kipling took inspiration from the life of Leander Starr Jameson from the life of writing this poem. Jameson was a British colonial and later on the 10^th Prime Minister of Cape Colony. He was best known for his “Jameson Raid (Dec 1895- Jan 1896), on Transvaal after assembling a private army, to overthrow the Boer Government of Paul K. because they were occupying large parts of South Africa that contained riches and resources.

In the beginning, the British Government supported the raid but it disowned him after the plan failed. Jameson was kept in prison in Africa for fifteen months. He stayed firm in hard situations and took all the blames on himself.

This poem is said to be based on Jameson’s life and the sufferings he faced as a result of “Jameson Raid”.
