The first thing they when they get their is show their amazing guns during a war between two tribes. Afterwards they started to lie and use tricks to climb their way to the top.  One of the lies Dravot tells the natives is that he is the Grandmaster of Freemasonry.

4.    Was Kipling using his novella The Man Who Would Be King as support of the concept of “ noblesse oblige”?  Discuss specific evidence from the text, Kipling’s “ The White Man’s Burden,” and the context of Kipling’s life.  “ Noblesse oblige” is showing kindness and helping those who are less privileged than you. This was basically Dravot and Carnehan goal. They believed that if they went over to Kafiristan and took supreme control the villagers would be happy.

But, the main technique Dravot and Carnehan used was deception and manipulating. Carnehan’s main goal was to help both the natives and himself, while Dravot only wanted to help himself.  Being a noblesse oblige means you must take care of people that are in lower classes than you. Dravot stopped the two men from being the noblesse oblige by manipulating all of the natives into building an Empire for is own reasons. Even Though it seemed as if he didnt care about the natives he still helped them come together and create a strong government.
