He spent much of his time playing with Indian children and wandering in Indian streets. Later  when  Kim  acted  as  the  Teshoo  Lama’s  chela  for  the  quest  of  the  “River  of  the Arrow”, he looked for the realization of his father’s prophecy that a great Red Bull and a  Colonel  on  a  green  field  could  help  him  to  clarify  his  identity  confusion.  Here  the Red  Bull  stood  for  his  father’s  Irish  regiment.  Kim’s  unique  double  identity  makes himself  confused  for  a  long  time.  He  meditated  on  his  identity  problems  many  times, just like Kipling himself.

In Kipling’s Kim, the entire India is depicted as a land of all castes of peoples and all kinds of beliefs. Kim is an integrated character between the Indian and the British. For  Kim,  India  is  as  important  as  Britain.  In  the  novel,  Kim  is  portrayed  as  an  ideal go-between whom Kipling himself is intended to be. So Kipling’s idealism in the “All India is full of holy men stammering gospels in strange tongues;” “as it has been from the beginning and will continue to the end.” (32). It is a faithful dedication as well as he  is  a  man  of  a  harmonious  cultural  identity  integration.  In  the  first  part  of  Kim,  the friendly  conversation  between  the  Lama  and  the  curator  of  Lahore  Museum  presents Kipling’s idealism in cultural integration.
