list of subscribers." Rudyard Kipling was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium and his ashes
were buried in Poets' Corner, part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey, where many
distinguished literary people are buried or commemorated.
Despite changes in racial attitudes and literary standards for poetry, Kipling's poetry continues to
be popular with those who see it as "vigorous and adept" rather than "jingling". In modern-day
India, whence he drew much of his material, his reputation remains controversial, especially
amongst modern Hindu nationalists and some post-colonial critics. In November 2007, it was
announced that his birthplace in the campus of the J J School of Art in Mumbai will be turned into
a museum celebrating the author and his works. Kipling's stories for adults also remain in print
and have garnered high praise from writers as different as Poul Anderson, Jorge Luis Borges,
