摘要：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.
