Gunga Din

Gunga Din je poema britanskog književnika Rudyarda Kiplinga objavljena 1892. godine kao dio zbirke Barrack-Room Ballads, posvećene životu britanskih vojnika u kasnom viktorijanskom periodu. Gunga Din je ime Bhishti vodonoše u službi britanske vojske, koji za vrijeme jednog pohoda spašava život britanskom vojniku i potom sam gine, tjerajući britanskog vojnika da u završnim stihovima prizna kako je "bio bolji čovjek od bilo koga vojnika". Gunga Din se među sličnim Kiplingovim djelima ističe pozitivnim odnosom prema domorodačkom stanovništvu Britanske Indije. Godine 1939. je po motivima pjesme snimljen istoimeni hollywoodski film.
