A Passage To India: Forster's Story of Pre-Independence India

by E. M. Forster

Overview

A Passage To India,' the greatest novel of all time, depicts a scenario set in pre-independence India, when British restrictions were obeyed. The premise centers around the question of whether Indians and Brits can ever be friends. Through the friendship between Aziz and Fielding, Forster utilizes this subject as a framework to explore the general issue of Britain's governmental domination of India on a more intimate level.

It also untangles the rising racial tensions between Indians, who are wary of colonial power at best, and the British, who are mostly ignorant of and scornful of the community they are penetrating.

Forster effectively defined the friendship between British and Indians and also discuss the Indian-British-Muslim interaction, culture, and religion in India through this Novel.
