14th installment of the series – Shanti
There was a tie between Shanti and Tiana, I choose Shanti first
When and Where?
The Jungle Book is set in Madhya Pradesh, the central province of India in the second half of the 19th century.
Commentary
I was wondering whether I should depict Shanti as a british-indian sepoy or an Indian Soldier one the other side of the conflict. Now since Kipling showed favor for imperialism in his books he would have probably wanted the former, but I opted for the latter because Jane already covers the British Empire Spot in the Series . Again big thanks to for valuable references. I took inspiration from various depictions throughout the 19th century, with special focus on the Indian rebellion of 1857. Especially Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi was a source of inspiration since she lead her own army during this war.
