India and Indians in the British Eyes: A Critical Estimation of the Novel A Passage to India by E. M. Forster2021 •
British writers, based on their orientalist discourses, portray their own nation and culture as superior, while the Indians as inferior 'Other'. The British representation of India in 20th century literature, which is the main concern of my paper and to present it I would like to display British impact and their mentality during 18th and 19th century India. I am going to evaluate E. M. Forster's A Passage to India (1924) in my way of discussion because of its loaded details about both the races, their views and particularly India during 20th century. The colonizer's ideology, racial tension, clash of culture, Hindu-Muslim conflict and several others are the crucial aspects of this very novel which perfectly fits my purpose of discussion. The final attempt of my argument is based on the Western or British impact upon post-Independent India and their way of viewing India in the 21 st century.

Having an eye on Edward W. Said (1935-2003) and Frantz Fanon’s (1925-1961) theories, this paper deals with the process of orientalising the Indians represented in E. M. Forster’s (1879-1970) A Passage to India (1924). Forster portrays the Orientalised India, and criticizes stereotypical representation of the Indians. His characters are the victims of British colonial power and colonialism. On the other hand, he criticizes the Indians’ passivity against the process of orientalisation. Moreover, this paper shows how Forster marks on the stereotypes the British colonisers attributed to the natives, as being a primitive, unreliable, genital, and dangerous race that must be kept in the farthest distance possible from the British. Fanon argues such features have great impacts on the psyche of the natives which results in inferiority complex and make the Indians feel an inherent flaw. They accept such a subjugation with no objection; hence, they turn into catalysers in the process of orien...

With globalization and modernization, increasingly people are influenced by multiple cultures. This paper examines the case of two authors, Mark Tully and Ruskin Bond, who were born in India shortly before India’s Independence (1947). Both had British parents, but one considers himself Indian while the other has retained his British identity. The focus of this paper is how and why this difference has occurred and how it has influenced their writing. Both Tully and Bond write short stories about India and Indians, particularly the small towns and villages. Their reasons for writing, however, are very different. Tully writes to achieve social change, while Bond writes because he loves to write. ii
The study deals with the imperialistic elements of British rule in E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India. This study textually analysis through the post-colonial aspect of the study. British colonizer rule in India or British raj the local people suffer a lot from it. This paper highlights the crucial relation between the colonizer and the colonized. I study English colonized literature, I always seem to sympathies with the locals in English colonized countries. These colonialists regarded the locals as inferior. Through the study of “A Passage to India,” we come to know how Forster depicted the British rule in Indian sub-continent. This study leads us towards the British Imperialistic activities in India.

This explores the changing inner world of the English in India, by examining images of India in the fiction of three English authors. The three are Rudyard Kipling, E. M. Forster, and Paul Scott. Citing Allen J. Greenberger, The British Image of India (London: Oxford University Press, 1960), Gokhale identifies these authors, respectively, with the Age of Confidence (1860s to 1918), the Era of Anxiety (1919- 1935) and the Years of Sunset (1936-1947) (pp. 31-32) . By an inner world he means to emphasize emotions and perceptions colored by emotions, rather than facts. For images he prefers to rely on realistic descriptions of landscapes and characters. This is a strategy that must be altered for Forster. Throughout, Gokhale provides historical backgrounds for the works of fiction he analyzes, but thinking of history as a known \u27\u27back ground for literature makes it difficult for him to discover anything new about history from literature
