In the novel A Passage to India, Forster tries to bring to light the cultural interactions between the native Indians and their British colonialists. It is considered whether there might be the possibility of personal relationships between native British people in order to develop mutual satisfaction. In this novel he tries to consider whether the natives may be able to connect with the English, and vice versa (Forster, 1979: 26). The novel explores Anglo-Indian friendship, taking care to describe the two societies found therein; natives and the English. Throughout the novel, Forster thoroughly explores the barriers that exist in interracial friendship. It shows how different cultures forced to mix end up misunderstanding each other and the consequences that arise from these misunderstandings. It satisfactorily discusses the failures of human beings in communication and the failure they have in eliminating prejudices, in establishing relationships. Based on the idea that English and Indians are equal, Fielding and Aziz build a friendship. Even if this friendship exists between them, it does not help to bind the Anglo-Indian union. This friendship of theirs is discussed on a personal level because we expect that in the colonies the existing friendship cannot be on an equal basis. At the beginning we notice that Aziz is against the English but after some time, after a meeting in the mosque with Mrs. Moore, he changes his opinion. The two nations; India and Britain would have been great friends if they had treated each other like Fielding and Aziz. But as long as the English rule the native Indians as their masters, mutual resentment will exist. Fielding and Aziz converse... center of paper... elding] and the native Indian slave [Aziz] cannot be the same. Fielding goes against his culture and norms to maintain his friendship with his friend Aziz. The cultures of the two societies were at loggerheads with each other. Some of the Indian and British cultures were misunderstood by both. Aziz, who represents the Indians, stands out as an individual who promises something with no intention of fulfilling it while the English keep their promises. The culture of British society symbolizes Indians as a woman. They are the male ones; Fielding returns to England with a wife. This helps him not to be labeled as a woman, due to his closeness and friendship with Aziz. It is evident that the cultures of the two societies differ from each other. Works Cited Forster, E.
