Summary of the Story
Plot: The story is set in the year 2084, after a third world war. A regiment of British and American officers, along with their servant Gunga Din, trek across the Milky Way in search of heaven.
Themes: It is a fable that critiques Western imperialism and the post-colonial world order. The officers, considering themselves the "Children of Man," believe they deserve entry into heaven but must negotiate and even fight for their place.
Unique Context
The novel is considered the first work of Iranian literature written in English and is known for its "broken and eloquent English" style. The author, Ali Mirdrekvandi, preferred to be called Gunga Din and vanished shortly after the book was published, with no one hearing from him since.
