* [[Mighty Whitey]] : Subverted in that Kim, who is of British parentage, learns a lot from his European schooling, but also from his adopted homeland and the Lama, and he feels more at home being a native rather than a "Sahib" (word used to call British in India).

* [[Multinational Team|MultiTribal team]]: Played straight and quite well. Aside from the major characters which come from diverse castes people from all over India are met randomly along the road, or what not.

To a large degree this is [[Truth in Television]], though presented in something of a [[Lighter and Softer]] manner. |
