Joseph Rudyard Kipling   was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. Не was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  George Orwell called him a "prophet of British imperialism". He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children, and he also was the first to use Cockney dialect in serious poetry.
«Cupid's Arrows» is a short story, which was first published in the first Indian edition of «Plain Tales from the Hills» in 1888, and in subsequent editions of that collection. This story is a Kiplingesque investigation - that is to say a strange combination of close observation, some mild satire of the strangeness of social conventions, and an acceptance of their strangeness, from the rather distant stance of an observer - of matters of love and marriage. The story is very delightful and humorous, and it is an interesting insight into the British colonial system in India!
