Cultural Conflicts in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India: A Postcolonial Perspective

Abstract

E. M. Forster’s novel A Passage to India is often regarded as a masterpiece. In the novel, Forster focuses on personal relationships rather than political themes like colonization and the dominance of British forces in India. He fosters that love, affection, and intimacy are the ideal vehicles for bringing the native Indian and the Anglo-Indian closer together, but he has a lot of trouble portraying the events since the Indian in A Passage to India keep on desiring freedom from British domination and rule. Colonialism is a form of control that entails the enslavement of one person by another. The British colonized India leaves their mark on many aspects of life and culture. For this purpose, this article would like to examine Forster’s treatment of the colonial concerns between the east and west through the art of characterization and plot construction.
