A Review of A Passage to India : An Application of Post Colonial Theory

Abstract

This article highlights the perspective of the white imperialist and the unsettling depiction of the interaction between the coloniser and the colonised. This depiction incorporates diverse manifestations of racial slurs, physical aggression, and prejudice directed towards Indians throughout the colonial period.  Here, Forster  emphasises  racial conflicts, as well as ethnic turmoil, that emerge between the two communities .This study aims to analyse the cultural difficulties and interracial connections that emerged between Indians and  British in a colonial environment. We will employ the analytical technique and the Postcolonial Theory as its conceptual framework. An examination of the book via a postcolonial lens confronts the colonizer's prejudiced convictions and reveals themes of clashes among diverse ethnicities, and profound disparities. The article emphasises  significant differences and unresolvable divisions that result from the varied racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Nevertheless, fostering reciprocal affection, admiration, and comprehension are efficacious remedies that can diminish racial animosity, and unite individuals from diverse racial origins.
