Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 INDIAN CULTURE THROUGTH BRITHISH EYES ARPITA DAUD AND ANJALI DAUD Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Representation of Indian Culture by the British Eye through literature, “A
Passage To India” by E.M. Forster is the best example of it.
The title itself is symbolic- “Passage” is symbolic of “link” or “connection”,
so by giving the title “A Passage to India”, E.M. Forster advocates for a link or
connection between Anglo-Indians and the natives of India. India in the novel stands not
merely for as country but also for a mystifying pattern of art and life for what the English
call a “muddle” which they cannot comprehend through their arid rationalism and
intellectualism. In other words, India is symbolic of EMOTION.Forster visited India in
1912-13 and 1921. He has recalled some of the impressions. “A Passage to India” won
the Femina Vie Heuresue and Tait Black Memorial prizes. “A Passage to India” – to
come India, to understand India and the Indians. The novel is a study of the relationship
that these women try to establish with Indians … and how they fail. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ARPITA DAUD AND ANJALI DAUD, (2013). INDIAN CULTURE THROUGTH BRITHISH EYES.
