It is the fashion now to avoid the old tradition of beginning each line with a capital; but there is no reason why you should follow fashion -it is a very fickle thing.
I did like the content -I think that at long last, people are coming to take an interest in the days of the Raj, and a number of books have been written recently. I think, however, that you would make your poem more attractive, if you set out to attract, not just by the content, but by all means at your disposal. I dislike comparisons between poetry and music, but you would think a song-writer pretty rubbish, if they just turned up with an essay, no music, nothing. In that way, there is a similarity.
I also like Kipling. He was a Poet Laureate, I think.
Welcome!
