This paper aims at showing how Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is a work which advises us to live in affinity with Nature in the spirit of live and let live. The paper also points out how much before the advent of eco-criticism, Kipling sympathetically deals with the idea that the well being of everyone species is something desirable for the preservation of the earth and its eco system. Hence, an ideal state of things would be a beneficial harmony between various species populating the earth and a gentle and kindred attitude to the welfare of the earth and the eco system. The whole project of human flourishing is dependent upon the harmony between the various sentiment and non-sentiment beings on this earth. Although Kipling was an imperialist, in The Jungle Book, he shows a profound insight and sensitivity as to how living beings and non-living beings can thrive and flourish on this earth.
